Travel Time – Getty Villa – I

Queenie and Honey Man had to opportunity to pay a royal visit to the Getty Villa on a recent trip to California.  The Getty Villa is an antiquities museum and gardens nestled in a beautiful canyon overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Pacific Palisades.

The museum is fashioned like a Roman Villa with beautiful inner and outside spaces.  There is a beautiful formal garden (outer peristyle)…

Herb garden…

East garden…

And courtyard garden (inner peristyle)

The beauty of the art, architecture and gardens was truly a treat for the eye and a breath of fresh air after a hectic week and before traveling back to Queenie’s Hermoso Castillo in Arizona.

More adventures of the Getty Villa to come…

Have a great day!

Always, Queenie

Autumn in Arizona

Happiness is the Delicious in the cool of autumn in Arizona…

Their backyard kingdom a favorite spot…

Relaxing in the freshly sprouted grass…

Winter Rye, the lawns of the cool months… Fresh green, fine as hair, lush and full… 

The mighty lemon tree full of tart green orbs at the ripening ready…

A canopy full of lemony yellow potential

Each bough heavy with fruit

Our fledgling orange tree making stellar effort

Stretching its limbs and creating beautiful orange love where last year there were only three…

This year are dozens…

Hoping your Thanksgiving was joyous and your autumn all you want it to be.

Have a great day!

Always, Queenie Believe
