Some of you know that my work is archived at the Huntington Library, but I often go there for the gardens as well. There's inspiration and splendor everywhere. My friend Jeff wanted to see the renovated Japanese garden. We asked someone in the herb garden if they'd take a photo of us, and luckily she took a good one.

Jeff loves bamboo even though it's invasive.
We saw a mother and her duckling. We tried to get closer, but didn't want mother to think we were endangering (corrupting!) the young.
I love succulents. It's also one of my favorite words. With water such a scarce resource in CA, most of my front yard is drought resistant and succulents.
I'd love to have cactus, but worry about the thorns tearing into my skin, or friendly neighbors. So I have to get my cactus fix at the Desert Garden.
