I woke up at 11 yesterday after my alarm went off and got ready to head over to Huntington Gardens in San Marino (right by Pasadena). I normally don't go out and take pictures unless it's an event or a shoot or something, so when I do I guess it's a different experience. It's relaxing, I guess. Traffic was annoying both ways. I ended up getting there at 1:50 because I couldn't find it (directions and signage were horrible) and stayed until 4:30 (that's when it closes).
I don't think I got any outstanding pictures. The thing about Huntington Gardens is that they open at 12:30 and close at 4:30. Anybody who knows anything about light knows that those are the two hardest times to capture good images of nature. The quality of lighting is bad. It's harsh, giving things harsh and unattractive shadows. Despite all of that, I think it was really fun. I didn't get a chance to hit up all the gardens and will probably go back during spring when flowers are actually in bloom (it looked quite dead there when I went).
As for this break, it has been more or less uneventful.
