I recall being a bit disappointed with our visit. Spring seemed late up here in the northern part of England. I saw few things that really inspired me but that ok. There is something in every garden waiting to be withheld. The was a lot of infrastructure projects, a couple of new bridges and vast areas of the garden under renovation. This little room was Looking good.
June 8, 2024 - I am catching up on my trip to England, 2024. Click here to see the other gardens we visited or click here for the Overview post.
From Blackpool we head due East to Leeds. Another fun city in Northern England that you don’t hear much about. Fun architecture and lively college town offers some good shopping and food.
I took the N-Judah street car to Ocean Beach and then walked the five miles back home. Here’s some characteristic street scenes.
Every year around Thanksgiving we start to unpack and build the model city located this year in the dining room. So far we only have a basic layout but here are some from past years.
A good three tiered layout with three nested loops.

A good introduction to this gardener, designer, sometimes landscape architect. Known for her simple shapes and clean lines, she utilized modern materials to create garden spaces for people to mingle with Nature.

I found this book at the Huntington Gardens gift shop. I wanted to learn more about Lichen and which ones I see in my gardens and environs.
This made me start to take photos up close of those in my gardens. This first I need to ID is on an old rose cane in Eureka Valley.
The Huntington, near Pasadena in Southern California, San Marino to be exact, is a library, art museum and botanical gardens. The Botanical Gardens is 130 areas with 16 themed gardens.
Fall in San Francisco is a good time to visit. Skies are clear and sunset occur.
Muni Heritage Fleet Weekend.
A rare double ended trolley in Muni Wings livery, starting off its run from Castro headed to Fisherman's Wharf.
It is four in the afternoon and I understand many of the historic fleet will travel up Market to either 17th or Church following the J-Church out to the Barn on Ocean Ave. I decided to walk up Market Street from Castro to see the Parade.
