the beauties of the Huntington Gardens


Fear not, NAVSA visitors, the Huntington Gardens are indeed still there, and waiting for you ... but there are some very big holes directly in front of the library, where there's going to be a whole new educational complex (and, I hope, some quiet places in which to eat one's picnic, on those days in which one's working in the library).  Today I even managed to go there for an hour - and realised that things have reached a shocking pass when I respond to the interior of a library with an emotion that can only be called intense nostalgia.  It's amazing how one can find useful material in just a small space of time, and this made me so horribly hungry to have longer to be there ...

... we did manage, however, to find time to drop into the orchid show and sale, which was quite spectacular ...
