At the Getty Center Gardens in Late Summer

The Getty Center is nearby and we go up there several times a year to see what they have on exhibit and spend a lazy afternoon enjoying the weather and the view. Admission is free, though you do have to pay to park, so bring a group of friends out with you if you want to make it even more affordable. We like to bring some books, some snacks and a camera (some people bring blankets and full picnic baskets, but we are rarely that organizes) and head up on a day when the weather is perfect and the sky is clear, so we get a nice view of the coast.

On this particular visit, we took in the Overdrive: L.A. Constructs the Future exhibit, which was fantastic. We couldn’t take pictures, since it was a special exhibit, so we turned out cameras to the garden, which was bursting with more color than we’ve seen in a long time. It was a perfect spot to laze away a late summer afternoon. And this post is just to share a little of that color.
