It is raining here in Riverside, and I've heard it's the worst storm in 10 years. I don't know that because I don't follow the news. Apparently in the surrounding areas there are possibilities of mud slides where fires raged earlier. I realized this morning why it never seems to rain hard here . . . there is no thundering and lightning. If it's not a thunderstorm, it's not a really bad storm--right?
My purpose tonight is to post pictures, but this will be totally trial and error. We recently visited The Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens near Los Angeles. Here are some pictures:
I didn't know bamboo grew so tall.

These look like stones, but they are living plants.
The stone appearance is for camouflage and safety.
Among the prettiest was the Japanese Garden.
The Rose Garden was past it's peak, but roses in December???
