A spontaneous visit to Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge resulted in the beautiful scenes included in this post. The number of visitors are being limited, advance reservations must be made by all non-members, and face masks are required. I was lucky to get a same-day, early morning spot, took a surprisingly pleasant drive up the freeway, and enjoyed a day of lovely weather. ~SueBee

Gorgeous pics. I just love Descanso – it’s one of my favorite LA getaways. I’m a member and usually go quite regularly, but haven’t been as much this year.
Thank you. This was my first time going this year. I generally try to get up that way a couple time each year. This has been a very odd year!
Indeed!
How lucky that you got such a beautiful day to see the gardens. Lovely pictures.
It was good timing on my part as we’ve finally had cold wind and rain come into the area this weekend. I’m finally able to see that my new roof installed last spring does a nice job keeping the inside dry!
I am happy to hear about your roof.
