I've lived in Los Angeles for 30 years and never visited the L.A. Arboretum until last month. These are my favorite shots from my first visit. I don't know the official name of this plant, but I love how it seems to be illuminated and glowing. No flash, no lighting...just Mother Nature doing her thing. I'll be shooting a wedding there in the Fall so I get another opportunity to visit this gem of a place. Btw, I know my posts have been pretty sparse lately and I apologize for that. I've been overwhelmingly busy with freelance work and I also have more than 1000 photos to go through and edit fro... |

They are so good it's bananas! ... |
