Walking in...
Japanese style house!
Pond with huge catfish! And little children.
Path...
Inside the Boddy House! Cute typewriter.
There is actually a lake right there...looks better from the bench I was sitting on.
Poison oak, for anyone who is curious.
I kinda went off the path (not on purpose!) and ended up at the border of the gardens (you can see the fence).
Railroad!!
Ooo...waterfall.
Really nice area...maybe have a wedding here?
The magical train!
Cool picture eh?
Finished with some cherry blossoms.
So, I decided to take a short trip to a local gem in La Canada Flintridge. I've been here 3 times in my elementary school days, and once in 8th grade when my grandmother visited from Korea. So where did I go? Descanso Gardens! This time I went by myself, and was probably the only guy in his 20's walking around solo. All around me were young and old couples, families, and girls enjoying the smell of Spring. And then there was me. I really enjoyed sitting when I wanted (almost every 10 minutes) and going off on paths that didn't really seem they were supposed to be taken. Sparing you of too many details, I would recommend anyone to visit Descanso Gardens and to really explore what it has to offer.

this summer, i was walking to the rose bowl when a german (i'm not very good at distinguishing accents) man asked us how to get to descanso gardens. he literally appeared out of nowhere and looked somewhat frantic and when we finally understood him (at first, we thought he was saying kindergarten) we realized it was about a 45 minute walk away from where we were. but we had no car to offer him a ride, and he disappeared. we think he was a leprechaun. all that to say, now i know what his destination looks like & i hope he arrived there!
hmmm - this is pretty awesome. nice saturday it seeems so
took my sister to descanso right before i left (:
