I need to cull through my own photos and will post those in a few days, but meanwhile I wanted to share Liz's, which I thought were absolutely amazing. Here's a tiny fraction of 'em:
My partner, Liz, and I spent Saturday celebrating Mothers' Day with my parents at the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, CA. The RBG was even better than I expected, in part because they allow dogs AND have tables that make picnicking easy. My parents picked up sushi for the picnic 'cause that's how we roll. (Get it? Sushi? Roll? Hahaha.) We had a great time, enjoying the gardens and the nursery, where my mom and I each picked up a mangave bloodspot for $8. I need to cull through my own photos and will post those in a few days, but meanwhile I wanted to share Liz's, which I thought were absolutely amazing. Here's a tiny fraction of 'em: All in all, the RBG was more than worth the 90-minute drive from our house. And thanks to my parents' b-day present to me, I can get in for free all year as a member! Yay! Can't wait to go back. I'll share some of my own photography from the day (albeit inferior) soon.

Indeed the RBG is one of my favorite places and Liz took some amazing photos. I've never seen so many fabulous close ups from this garden, usually people tend to focus on the overall combinations (myself included). Can't wait to see more of what you saw that day.

Wow! Great to find your page/blog! I live only 15 minutes from this garden and have never stopped to check out what was behind the gates for nearly 20 years! A friend recently suggested we take the tour soon and I'll make sure to take my camera!

Hi there! My girlfriend took me on a surprise birthday picnic here this past weekend and it was truly magical!!! I am a succulent addict, too, so this place was heaven on earth for me. Loved seeing your photos and checking out your blog. You can see some pics from our day here if you'd like! Mainly "selfies" but a few cute pics of my sweet pup, Albie, that I think you might like.
