Spring is such an exciting season.  The nature has waken up from its dormant condition and everything seems to be alive, including me.Meeting nature at its best, my camera couldn’t be happier – it wouldn’t stop blinking. :-)

Spring has come to the Chinese Garden in the Huntington Library - Los Angeles Photographer

Depending on which corner of the world we are at, winter can be a bitter and long one.  For th spoiled one like me, I still could not wait for the (mild) winter weather to give way to the next season.As some already know, spring is one of my favorite seasons (fall being the other one) for photography, I go crazy with Japanese gardens and Chinese gardens when it comes to landscape photography.

Since I've shared some images taken at Japanese Gardens of the Huntington Library and the Descanso Gardens, I thought it's only fair to share those of Chinese Garden in the Huntington Library.

So, what is your favorite?  The fresh green on the weeping willow?  The reflection of the pagoda on the surface of the lake?  The mirror reflection of the bridge?  Or the pink spring flowers?

I tell you how I felt.  At the reminiscence of the childhood memory, I felt that I was back home.

Spring at Descanso Gardens (Part 1) - Los Angeles Photographer

We all know that spring is here when flowers are blooming everywhere and we have more than one Cherry Blossom Festival in one weekend. This past weekend, I visited Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge for the first time and had a wonderful (flower) time.  As I'm processing the images, I can't wait to share a couple:
