Rancho Los Alamitos
If you have an afternoon, no plans, and you happen to be in Long Beach, I have a secret to tell you: There is an old ranch, with gardens, on the top of a hill, in a gated community, right next to the university, with free admission.

Stunning photos! Especially the giant roots! :)

DeleteAgreed. This place looks wonderful, and your photos are lovely. I love the large roots too, but the photo underneath it is my favorite. Gorgeous work.
