On lazy weekends, my favorite place to be is in a garden. We stroll slowly, cameras in hand, trying to capture what it is that makes those places so magical, so incredibly relaxing. This is a love I discovered later in life never really having been an outdoor girl. So now I’m sharing all my special places with you so you can discover them as well. Perhaps you’ll unearth a secret love for gardens, too.

- Descanso Gardens – La Canada Flintridge, CA (Updated! See our photos of the cherry blossoms and camellia forest here.)
- The Huntington Gardens & Library – San Marino, CA (the one that started it all)
