Balboa park

We went to Balboa park on Tuesday....I see this stuff everyday, because the Naval hospital is in Balboa park! I wanted to show James this beautiful place!

Muah! I had my picture taken in front of this building like 8 years ago....I wanted another!

These Koi fish were as big as a small dog! Oh my! Too many people feed these fish...

This is the lily pond in front of the botanical building. I really love the landscaping and greenery in California...there are so many different plants! Stuff you'll never see in Illinois, unless it's at the Joliet Greenhouse! :) My favorite plants are king palm trees, birds of paradise, and the banana trees.


Amazing architecture here....so intricate! I wonder how old this is?



Oh, I just love this picture! It is a root system above ground. The plants wouldnt' get too much water underground, Cali is very dry!


Another artsy one, I'm just messing around with our camera. I like to think I'm good at photography...at least landscapes! :)


James trying to choke me? If you look closely, you can actually see him SMILING! Look very very very close! Is he smiling because he's choking me, or is it because he's actually having a good time??????? The world may never know.
