Queen Anne Cottage Renewed - a photo on Flickriver

L.A. County Arboretum
Arcadia, CA
10-27-24

Took a Photo Expedition with the new Canon EOS R5 camera up to Arcadia, a mere 40 miles from home, to photograph the L.A. County Arboretum. I felt as if I just visited one of my favorite places, but it was a year ago September when I was last on the grounds.

I asked the first employee I saw if they'd removed the fencing from around the Queen Anne Cottage. Last year they were in the midst of renovating and repainting the Cottage. All finished. However, Lake Baldwin on the other side of the Cottage has been drained, and renovations are going on with the lake.

A beautiful day (although at 84° quite warm for late October) and I spent about three hours on the grounds. There used to be a lot of ivy in the barren area in the front of the photo, and I contemplated "borrowing" some from another photo I took some years back and using the clone tool to "replant" the area. But thought better of it. Besides the HDR processing, this is what the grounds looked like this afternoon. I'm so glad they finally painted those little chairs on the front lawn. They'd been badly rusted for about a decade or so!

Still no water in the fountain, but still a beautiful place.
