Huntington植物园(Huntington Botanical Gardens)位于洛杉矶市中心东北方约12英里的San Marino,属于铁路和地产大亨Henry Edwards Huntington在1919年创办的The Huntington中的一部分(其它部分包括艺术搜藏馆和珍稀图书馆)。其实前几年就听说过它,但一直没去过。前两天看到一个朋友发出的帖子说五月份凭美国银行的DEBIT卡,就可免掉15美元的门票。呵呵,机会终于等到了!而且正好让自己新买的SONY长焦数码相机Cyber-shot DSC-H9小试牛刀一把:)刚进去时的总体感觉没有想象中的那么好。可能是因为原来的期望挺高的(我已去过洛杉矶另一著名景点GETTY CENTER好多回);也可能去的时候不对,错过了欣赏百花盛放的最佳时机。不过既来之则安之,特别是手中握有的DSC-H9大大增强了我的信心。
