Lost in the Beautiful Day

Madeline and I ventured out to Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. What a gorgeous setting tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood. We began the outing with a picnic lunch, just outside the entrance to the Gardens. Then we made our way into lovely flowers paving the roads we walked, with fountains and fish ponds to greet us. Madeline found sticks and rocks to toss about and made a game of hide-and-seek among the trees and a garden gazebo. When we were too hot to walk anymore, we found a bench shaded by a small tree. We drank water and played silly games that are only made up between mommies and their babies. We toured the art gallery at the top of the property and were happily greeted by the two featured artists, sharing their lovely displays. We made our way back to the entrance and Madeline's souvenir is a watering can so that we can take our new found inspiration and cultivate our own little garden at home.
