Here are some photos from Huntington Gardens yesterday. I didn't take very many, but it was a lovely day. Might post more of them once I've taken a look at all of them on the computer. Also, at the end, I threw in a few of Dennis Quaid, who I saw Friday night at a Q&A for his new, excellent film, At Any Price. I've always liked his work, so it was ( Read more... )

He looks great! (Lovely pics.) I've never particularly followed his work, but he was in one of my favorite films, and quite excellent in it: The Long Riders (along with his brother, the Carradines, and the Keaches). I'm so glad you got to see him in person.

Gorgeous photos from the gardens!

I first saw DQ in Breaking Away. It happens to be one of my most favorite films, and I know it by heart. In fact, I got the idea for my daughter's name from one of the actresses in the film.

It's a wonderful place. Immense. With big vistas of lawn, statuary, a tremendous large cactus garden, bamboo groves, a Japanese garden, a Chinese garden... just a huge variety of areas, landscape, plants.

Those roots were amazing, like something out of a fantasy forest.
