Huntington Plant Sale!
April 29, 2012
The Huntington Gardens had another plant sale this weekend. I didn’t want to miss out!
These are my new buddies.
Echinopsis hybrid x 2… Those are the ones with pink flowers.
Mint julep, white flowering rosemary, and Italian parsley.
These echinopsis hybrids were very popular! I took home two! Tom was very helpful and knowledgeable about the care of these beautiful cacti.
After my excursion with the plant sale, I explored the gardens.
The beauty and grandeur always capture me.
The squirrels were loving all the attention too.
Under the shade of the Sabal mauritufomis I was reenergized, renewed, refreshed.
I fought for this photo. They were closing up and the security guys were telling us it's time to leave. I was waiting for this little guy to go into the sun, for the perfect moment. And I told the guys "there are other people behind me, I just want to get this photo." And they gave me a stern look. Meanwhile the lizard crawled into the sun. So I said to the guys "Hey, he's in the sun now. Can I take a photo of him in the sun?" And they *sighed*. Eventually they left because there was a call about a girl getting a bee sting, so they went to attend to that I think. So, I got this shot. Perfect

Mason the Black Stallion
Meet Mason, the Black Stallion.
Thank you Ariel for introducing him to me.
Mason is a special magical unicorn.
Instant love.
The entire back pasture on the left with the fence is Mason's.
I'm riding bare-back for the first time and he let me!
This my my favorite photo of Mason with the highlights from the sun on his black coat.
Horse shoes are very painful, so Mason doesn't wear any. His hoof is equivalent to one of our fingernails. The very sensitive area is at the center.
Horses can smell up to three miles away.
Horses noses are very soft like velvet.
I love how he scrunches up his eyes. I was doing the same. :)
This is Taco the pony! Taco will be sharing the pasture area with Mason.
This is Spot. He is very mischievious!
This is Cajun!
