by Angie on March 5, 2010

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

A few days ago I showed you the views from The Getty Center and what the museum built out of travertine looks like.

Today I’d like to show you my favorite part of the museum.

The gardens.

12 Katie Twitter: KTnestingspot March 5, 2010 at 1:35 pm: I am still doing the happy dance over winning the Memory Mixer giveaway!!! Thank you again for hosting such a fun one.

Am so jealous of all the lovely blooming flowers you’ve got in CA right now. Staring at the snow outside I’m reminded how when we lived outside of San Francisco, March was of my favorite time to enjoy the drive to work. The rolling hills would be such a vibrant green, almost unreal.

I remembered why we didn’t make it to The Getty, we went to The Huntington Library instead. I’d seen that in a travel mag so that was on my list of must do’s when on our SoCal trip.
13 sierra March 5, 2010 at 1:43 pm: wow. So lovely. I think my favorite part about gardens is the sheer organization. Esp knowing mine will never (ever ever ever) be that organized and well pruned.

24 Jenners March 6, 2010 at 7:23 pm: I misread this the first time. I thought you wrote “a museum built out of a transvestite.” Not quite the same thing!

27 Live.Love.Eat March 11, 2010 at 7:32 am: Oh my goodness, the gardens are beautiful!!!!!!!! The last time I have been to something similar was Cypress Gardens here in FL, the oldest theme park. It’s focus is on the gardens and all the bushes designed as animals and such.
