Let me show you where my sister & I went last week. Come with us on a stroll through a fragrant, textured garden. Bring your journal.
Or a picnic. There are plenty of places to relax and unfurl your leaves.
Shake out your petals.
There are birds. We like birds.
Enchanting masses of bloom. leaf. petal.
Plants wearing feather boas.
Places to lose yourself.
Or find yourself. Tiny universes to discover. One after the other.
Arlington Garden is located in Pasadena, California.

Hello over there in blossomland…..i’m in snowy cold everythingisbrownland. I am, however, anxiously awaiting the first spring sighting of the Paris travel journal. I have binoculars around my neck and am drumming my fingers in anticipation (which is annoying the others who just don’t understand).

Thanks for the stone maze photo. That’s cool.

What sights for sore eyes. Everything here is covered in frost – meaning all the dead brown remains of last years growth, all the bare branches, the just sort of peeping out tips of the snow drops…

It was a treat to see all these blooms in your post as we await more rain/snow to arrive here in KC this week.

Where in the world is this enchanting place. I adore succulents, have a window sill full of them, waiting for warmer weather to plant outside. I’m an avid birder, travel all over the country to see them and add to my life list, state list. Wish you’d taken pix of the birds so I could name them for you.
This looks like a heavenly place to visit. I miss CA for the gardening, for the year round flowers…it’s brutal in the high desert for gardeners.
