Visitors describe this garden also as an "oasis of peace" in the middle of the city. I think this description, especially in times like these, fits it well.

Last year one of my nearby parks had a wonderful light show throughout the park. I wish they did if again this year but went with a Dino Safari instead. But here is a photo from last years event. I went with 2 of my friends and there was excess parking and a free bus transfer system which worked well.
Valentine day awaits and I am going to hunt for some flowers.
I leave close to the sunset hour, because I had an idea for special Valentine's day photo and sunset colours should add extra drama to it ;)
After I did my project, which went quite well, I was going next to botanical garden and sunset colours really made it special.
Time to stop and capture this beautiful moment.
What's more if you look close, the scene is empty apart from one person spraying water on the stairs (most probably). If you are asking why, I have no idea :)

One of my favorite gardens in the South Bay.
Is it yesterday already?
Full size Tyrannosaurus Rex at South Coast Botanic. The Dinosaurs Around the World exhibit, comprising of 13 giant roaring and moving jurassic lizards, closes Feb. 1st. I actually had to turn around the last time I attempted a visit to the Garden because the parking lot was completely full!

Las colecciones están enfocadas en plantas de las regiones mediterráneas de todo el mundo, esta es una vegetación vinculada al clima mediterráneo que se caracteriza por un largo verano seco, de inviernos suaves y lluvias en la primavera y el otoño. Este clima sólo se encuentra sobre un 5% de la superficie de la tierra pero en 5 regiones del mundo en las cuales las plantas tuvieron una evolución adaptativa específica que con todo da paisajes bastante similares, por lo que las plantas se distribuyen agrupadas, según las cinco regiones mediterráneas del mundo.
Las sendas nos permiten acceder de zona en zona, comenzando por las Islas Canarias situadas a la entrada y subir al Mediterráneo occidental reconocible por el instituto botánico, que sobresale.
Del hemisferio Norte, la zona con una mayor representación es la Cuenca Mediterránea, siguiendo el camino de visita se accede hasta las costas de California de clima mediterráneo.
Después se encuentran las zonas mediterráneas del hemisferio Sur donde se visita la región mediterránea de Chile, el sur de África, y las dos regiones mediterráneas del sur de Australia (SE y S).

Having recently watched a FacebookLive with Gavin Hoey, who did a smoke tutorial. I dug out my smoke images from a few years ago & repurposed them with some glass also taken a while back. Great fun to do, & keeps the Photoshop skills going.
