Finally after years of thinking about it, I visited the Huntington Library and Gardens (near Los Angeles). It was a great day. Not only because of the beautiful Japanese and Chinese gardens but also for the wealth of art and amazing documents in the library. Here are some photos of the Japanese Garden area.

The Trees

Here are some of the trees. Looking at the names of the tree donors is like looking at the history of bonsai in Southern California.
