The Daily Rick

Yesterday I surprised Lindsey by taking her to the Los Angeles Arboretum, just east of Pasadena in Arcadia. It's located right across the street from the Santa Anita Race Track. The Arboretum is basically a zoo for trees. It's a massive place located on the old Rancho Santa Anita. Just about every tree from around the world can be found here. It's obvious why the place is a popular movie location for Hollywood. It's a great place to spend the day walking and not thinking too much. Lindsey and I were there a good two and a half, three hours. We actually sort of got lost at some point and the sparsely peppered maps were of no help. But we just kept walking until we found civilization again. My camera ran out of power pretty early so we didn't get to photograph some of the better sights on the property. But we still got a few.



I took about 10 or 12 or these photos before I got one that came out in focus.


The Arboretum is littered with peacocks. They're beautiful and kinda creepy.








Lindsey Whiteside: hopeless romantic.


This last photo's my favorite. We should have taken this as an omen, maybe, but nothing too horrible happened to us.
