Fullerton Arboretum

Branden and I took another photography trip to the Fullerton Arboretum today.  This really is one of my favorite places, I need to spend more time there.  We've been in the Fall, in the Winter, but this was our first time in the Spring/Summer time of year and it was the best so far.  Every time we visit we find something new and exciting.  If you haven't been, GO.  It's totally free, parking is free, it's great for kids or just for photography.  We had a fabulous picnic under the perfect shady tree next to a fragrant jasmine garden and orange grove.  You can even pick and eat the fruit!  Or feed the ducks.  Or search for the loud bullfrogs that I've never actually seen.  Or people watch...especially the little kids, it's always fun to watch them explore nature.  I think I may go and just take a book or a sketchbook one day soon and really spend the day relaxing there.  It's very peaceful somehow, even though it's right off the freeway!  Anyway, you get the point...and now, LOTS of pictures today.  The fruits of my labor:
