Huntington Library Trip~ ^^
Mom and I and some kids went to the Huntington Library today. I also took the liberty and joined their membership, since if it cost $15 per person to join, mom and I only need to go 3 times this year and we'd get the money back. Something about the Library really soothes me greatly, and it's huge, great for walking and exercising. ♥ Hopefully I can go every weekend so I can get the exercises. And it's pretty~! ♥
Anyway, here are the pics~! ^^
By the entrance. ^^ Such pretty flowers~! ^^
Yes, kids, that's a naked Poseidon in the back.... Toppi, don't look back!!! XD
Random chair...
This is at the new, still under construction Chinese garden. It actually doesn't seem a lot at this point, but the bridges and rocks are really pretty and on point. We overheard a tour guide says that after Chinese New Year, they will close this place down for more construction. So we actually went at a great time to catch a last glimpse of under-construction-site before it is completed. It looks very promising though. ^^
Touya contemplating life (or just being a cool little boy >w< by the riverbank that connects the Chinese and Japanese garden ^^
That's a beautiful rock... It's in a shape that I've seen in a lot of Chinese paintings where it protrays a mountain.... I almost wanted to cross the river and put Touya there to take a picture, but I don't dare to chance water.... ><
I'm obsessed with that tree and that bridge.... XD
There was this guy that set his camera up near this place and was shooting the lake automatically, and I didn't want to disturb him.... But I really wanted this shoot with this crooked tree, so finally I had Touya get over there and sit by the tree. He looks so pretty... ♥
Then mom called me over and I saw Toppi sitting on the tree nearby. Mom put her there and she looked so cute!!! XD
The tea room. There was a security guard by the tea room and he saw me being sneaky with Toppi. He saw me put Toppi on the step, and he was really, really nice and let me took pictures with her there. For some reason the light reflects real bad so she looks real white!! Afterwards, I picked her up, and he turned to look at me, so I have Toppi wave and said "Thank You", and he said, "Aww! She's really polite! What a cute little girl!"
See, that makes me squeal inside. >w<♥
Touya looks so comfortable there. XD
The Zen Garden. I had some fun playing with the sunlight. ^^ Toppi's actually sitting ON the bamboo rail (O_O) and Shizuka was leaning against the rail 'cause she couldn't stand up. Touya stood by himself. He's their protector ♥
XDDD! This I gotta explain... I was joking how cute Touya looked, so I unzipped his shirt. But he looked so much like he was auditioning for PlayGirl that I laughed and grabbed him over to zip him up, where he half-fell to my lap on his back, and looked so much like, well... Seductive gigolo. XD! So I gotta take this pic. *dies laughing*
Toppi sitting up! They look so cute~! ♥
We were on our way to the exit where mom said she needed to rest. So we sat on the grass field where it was SOOOO comfy that... all of them lied down. XD Toppi demanded Touya's arm for pillow, then Shizuka too. XD He looked squeezed. *ROFLMAO*
It's kinda sad that because of the extreme cold this year, there weren't as many flowers as two years ago. Most of the trees have suffered, and you can even see it on the trees. >< Ouchies. Hopefully with more warmth coming there would be more flowers. ^^ Hey, I got the membership now.... FREE ADMISSION~! XD
