Description

Huntington Gardens in California is one of my favorite places to visit. I used to love to go when I lived there, and it is still as wondrous.

The San Marino Ranch was purchased in 1903 by Henry Huntington. His superintendent oversaw the botanical gardens. Originally over 600 acres, now 207 acres are in the park and including the former mansion, now an art gallery, and library.

There are over a dozen gardens, including this Jungle garden, as well as a lily pond garden, camellia garden, Australian garden, Desert Garden, Japanese Garden, Herb Garden, Palm Garden, Rose Garden, Shakespeare Garden, Subtropical Garden, Chinese Garden, and Children's Garden.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.

I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
