Urban Transit Transformed

Hey, how about a jaunt over to the library in a POD that DRIVES ITSELF?

Lackadaisical

Credit: Grammarly
I actually think lackadaisical can be directly translated to "lacking daisies," and it is that (metaphorical) lack which causes one to become lackadaisical. Sort of like "lacking pep." This does not, however, explain how one can continue to be lackadaisical when surrounded by a lovely, lackadaisical field of daisies. Happy Day of Reading, Dear Friends! :)

THE HUNTINGTON


And now, visually experience The Huntington, from the gardens, to the art, to the most exquisite library. We attended on a weekday, so it cost us a bit less at $20 per adult and $12 for the kiddos. At first, I was concerned about paying this much to visit "just" a garden and library. Wow, was I ever wrong! This is not simply a garden and a library. This is heaven on earth! Be sure to wear good walking shoes, comfortable clothing, sunscreen, and a hat. Drink plenty of water, and plan on spending as much time as possible.There is much to see! These 50+ photos give you a brief glimpse into the world that is The Huntington...


Because sometimes pictures tell the story much better than words.
And being there in person is so much better!


















LJ and "Tree Stars"

Indeed, I did.

Jasmine smells sooo...

Hummingbirds love the smell of Jasmine, too.




























































But, what happened to the picture of me in front of ALL the copies of The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin in the EVOLUTION room of the library? Sigh, I suppose I must return for another photo-opp. Any excuse will do. ;)
