The Huntington Library is a beautiful place. The art galleries are amazing, but we spend most of our time touring the 120 acres of botanical gardens. I have been there numerous times, and I don't think that I have seen everything.
A few photos from the recently-opened Chinese Garden:
Magnetic sand in the Children's Garden
the Fog Grotto... Children's Garden
A tunnel and a cave made with plants...Children's Garden again:

the rock formation (pic #3), is limestone from Lake Tai in China

Susan, they are great pictures, thanks for sharing them....that is somewhere I'd love to go one day....
Great pictures. Looks like the kids had fun!
Wow! I can see why you love this place... I would, too!
OK...just what IS that third photo? The large, orange-ish formation?
I don't know exactly what the 3rd photo is. It's a big rock, I think brought from China. There were several like it around the gardens, but this was the largest. I looked around for a plaque or something, but didn't see one. I was too busy chasing E3 to ask the nearby docent. If I find out, I'll update the post.
What a gorgeous place! I think I'd spend my time there too. Too bad we aren't bazillionaires, dangit.
If I find out, I'll update the post.
Thanks for that, Susan. The formation is just SO striking I had to ask...
The pictures are great!!
It looks like a fun place to visit.
