Green Meanie and CaliforniaPeggy...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

In an art museum?

The Huntington, no less?

Yup.

Have a look!

Sorry the indoor pics are blurry; this is what happens when you can't use the flash!

Still, we had a ball!

Thanks...:blush:

[Swede]

3. Very nice,Peg.

Looks like you guys had a nice day.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Swede!

We did!

It was hot, though...

So we strolled the gardens before noon, and then vanished into those wonderful air conditioned buildings after a nice lunch...

Thanks, sweetie...

:hi:

5. Beutiful!

I especially like the one of the pond!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear SeattleGirl!

Thanks, sweetie!

Yeah, that one reminded me so much of the lily ponds at Monet's gardens in Giverny, France!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear liberaltrucker!

We did have a great time!

As is normal, we felt like old friends from the start!

I'm sure GM will be pleased at your comments, sweetie!

Thanks for coming by...

BTW, I am going to the meetup in NYC...I'll be there the weekend of August 9/10...

Any chance you could be there too?

:loveya:

[liberaltrucker]

9. A tentative...........maybe.

I get to North Jersey quite a bit.

Pinkies crossed.

10. Oooh, the gardens are lovely!

I've been told the Huntington is a must-see, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

It really is gorgeous!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear huskerlaw!

The gardens are lovely!

So many things are in bloom...

But it's so damn hot!

We still had a ball, nevertheless...

Good to see you tonight!

Glad you had a moment to come by...

:hug:

[VenusRising]

12. You get to meet all the good DUers!!

:P

It really does look like you had a wonderful time! I would love to stroll those gardens.

The photo of the garden with the statues is just stunning! LOVE IT!! :)

:hi::hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear VenusRising!

Oh, I don't know...

There's quite a few I haven't managed to meet just yet!

;-)

Thanks, sweetie!

We had a really good time, even though it was quite hot and humid...

:loveya:

:hug:

[Pool Hall Ace]

14. Lovely pics. The garden looks so serene.

And you had a fun day with another DUer! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear Pool Hall Ace!

Oh, thank you!

Yes, the gardens are serene and lovely...

The city is far away there...

And we sure as heck had fun!

Meetups are always fun!


:hi:

[LaurenG]

15. Wow what a fun trip to make with a fellow DUer!

I'm so glad you two had fun!

The pictures are lovely too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear OhioBlues!

It was a perfect day...

Well, it could have been cooler, lol!

We laughed and talked just as though we'd known each other forever...

Thanks, sweetie!

:hi:

[Gonzo Gardener]

17. Lovely pics Peg!

I'm happy to see that your indoor shots turned out as well as they did. You have a very steady hand, my friend!

The pond photo turned out particularly well and I just love the grape vine framed backside of Dionysus. Surrounded by such beauty, it becomes a challenge not to take great photos.

After parting ways, although a bit withered, we managed to hoof it through the Japanese Garden over to the new Chinese Garden. It was absolutely spectacular! You MUST go for another visit with your camera, but in the early spring when it's not so damn hot!

Thanks for making the trip up to join us. We all enjoyed the meetup!

:hug:

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear Green Meanie!

Hey, it's about time you showed up, sweetie!

I was thinking about calling you to let you know the thread was going...

I was soooooooooo tired yesterday, I wasn't sure I was going to do it, but dinner gave me a second wind!

Thanks for your compliments too...

The indoor pics are blurry, alas...

The ones I posted aren't too bad. Blue Boy was unacceptably blurry, so he got left out!

I'm sure the Chinese and Japanese gardens were amazing...Glad you were able to see them...

My husband was really glad he'd come along and we both had the BEST time!

:hug:

:loveya:

[blueknight]

20. beautiful pics!

and you two looked so radiant! i would love to visit there!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear blueknight!

Oh, thanks!

I suspect our radiance was due to being rather hot and sweaty...it was a very warm, humid day!

The museum is one of the most wonderful places in Los Angeles...

:hi:
