The HUNTINGTON LIBRARY

We went to The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in Pasadena.

One of its biggest draws is this painting,

THE BLUE BOY.  He’s very old and very expensive.

This is “PINKIE”

She cost those Huntingtons a lot of bucks too.

Here’s some really cool old statues.

I think the Huntingtons invented “shabby chic”.

I would love this  at my front

entry but I don’t think I could afford it.

I’m glad I don’t have to be the one to
clean all the chandeliers.

This guy was almost totally bare naked 

delicate hands...beautiful soft light

I loved the pretty lady pictures the best.

she looks pretty mean but i loved the lace collar.

jewelry idea.

she’s not very pretty but her dress sure is.

If you ever come to California, The Huntington Library is one place you have to see.

It has extensive gardens, lots of wonderful paintings and shows different traveling exhibits.  We went there to specifically

see the Charles Rohlfs  exhibit.  The camera ran out of juice so I couldn’t take

any photos of that....bummer.

There is a Modern Art Wing, Cactus Gardens, Rose Gardens (we are in Pasadena after all)
A huge greenhouse.   None of which I can show you here because of the aforementioned
dead camera.

THE GIFT SHOP HERE IS SO GREAT.  I TRULY WANTED EVERYTHING

IN IT.
