Without Lifting A Finger

Beautiful. Haven't seen so many camellias in one place before. I was enjoying a walk with my friends, so only took one shot: from the Boddy House (just the patio, some oaks, and the skittish mountain top in the distance), where we made a RR stop. * 

Elias Manchester Boddy (pronounced "Boady" [ 1 ] ) (1891–1967) rose from poverty to become the publisher of a major California newspaper and a candidate for Congress. His estate, Descanso Gardens, was bequeathed to the County of Los Angeles as a floral park. [From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Boddy ]
