There were many nice places to sit and relax. However, it was very hot, and so we didn't sit around much. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
Cacti everywhere. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
The flowers were a bit past their prime, but still beautiful as they caught the sunlight. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
A young #Peacock strutten his stuff! #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
The gardeners, all wearing masks as they should, were out working despite the heat. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
I'm sure there was a sign someplace for this interesting plant, but I didn't find it. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
We found these huge "Jack-in-the-pulpit" style plants. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
I found a sign for this one! #Brachychiton_gregorii #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
I found these flowers to have a very attractive color. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
Another beautiful flowering tree. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
Apparently, the #LA_Arboretum, is well known for an abundance of #Peacocks. We figure this is the father of those cute little chicks back at the cafe. #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
Beautiful colors on that fan. And he was as proud, as, well, as a #Peacock. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
All the birds seemed unusually tame. We were able to walk right up to this guy. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
According to him, this was his good side! #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
All his feathers are intricate and colorful. But the contrast of those copper colored side feathers was stunning. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
The colors are bright even when he is back-lit. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
The last shot of the morning. As we approached noon, the temperature became a bit much. So, we had a quick lunch and retreated to the much cooler #Lake_Forest home. #LA_Arboretum, #Californica, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #Tamron
