Spring is such an exciting season.  The nature has waken up from its dormant condition and everything seems to be alive, including me.Meeting nature at its best, my camera couldnโ€™t be happier โ€“ it wouldnโ€™t stop blinking. :-)

Check out the beautiful flower field:

Iโ€™m sure my camera is not alone in exhilarating.  Oh, how I wish I can join this little girl:

or be as elegant and colorful as this young lady:

And you know I wonโ€™t give up an opportunity when there is a Japanese Garden:

Letโ€™s celebrate life, even if itโ€™s the small things that are offered.

Spring has come to the Chinese Garden in the Huntington Library - Los Angeles Photographer

Depending on which corner of the world we are at, winter can be a bitter and long one.  For th spoiled one like me, I still could not wait for the (mild) winter weather to give way to the next season.As some already know, spring is one of my favorite seasons (fall being the other one) for photography, I go crazy with Japanese gardens and Chinese gardens when it comes to landscape photography.

Since I've shared some images taken at Japanese Gardens of the Huntington Library and the Descanso Gardens, I thought it's only fair to share those of Chinese Garden in the Huntington Library.

So, what is your favorite?  The fresh green on the weeping willow?  The reflection of the pagoda on the surface of the lake?  The mirror reflection of the bridge?  Or the pink spring flowers?

I tell you how I felt.  At the reminiscence of the childhood memory, I felt that I was back home.
