Kids at the Getty

My Favorite Song, Today


I just discovered this band (thanks Mojo!), and cannot believe they never broke as big as contemporaries like the Bee Gees, Hollies, and even the Beatles. See if you don't agree.

Huntington Gardens

My travels last week took me down to the Huntington Library and Gardens, one of my favorite places to wander around.  This first set of pictures from my visit were taken in the Palm Orchard and Desert Garden (I'll post some from the other parts of the grounds in coming days).
