I love the reflecting pool in front of the conservatory. Speaking of which, the conservatory building is such an interesting style of architecture. Your photos are beautiful!

The colors in the San Diego photos are breath-taking, almost surreal. I love the picture with the lily pads.

My ...Balboa Park is always a great place to visit. My grandfather was the man who raised the money to expand Balboa Park for usage during the Pan American Expo. My dad (born in 192) was a child then, and he and his sisters went to the Expo for free everyday. I love going there with Dad as he has lots of behind the scenes stories. It amuses me to still see remants of the roads of the world behind the space museum. Imagine wanting to take a car ride over cobblestones, wooden planks, dirt, shells etc as a "special" treat!<br /><br />The little houses used to be my favorite thing to visit as a child. There were always food for free at each house...and I loved the House of Sweden foods the best!<br /><br />Next San Diego visit I urge you to go up to Mt.Soledad to see the 360 degree view, and to explore the Veteran's Memorial. If you do go, remember that most of the faces you will see on the plaques are of people who are still alive...and you might just run into one of them and get to hear their story. LOVE it!Tiggie FOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875830169514655660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-54949900672091014152009-06-03T00:08:29.161-07:002009-06-03T00:08:29.161-07:00Stunning views, Willow...just marvelous photos!
