Took the trolley and hopped off for a stroll around the grounds. Relaxing and beautiful area, full of history and lots of things to photograph...textures, colors, architecture.

Be sure to take your time walking through the building. Each space has interesting plants and trees, mostly labeled. And it's cool inside on hot days. I'm surprised the gardeners are letting vines grow into the lattice roof; I noticed some of the slats have become loose. Control those vines.
