Graffiti

This past weekend we went to Huntington Gardens in Pasadena for a little tour. Now, it was hot when we left the beach, so you can imagine what it was like up there. We arrived late after having swung by my mother in law's favorite cactus place in Pasadena and then grabbed a quick bite at Whole Foods. The Gardens close at 4:30 and we arrived at 3. No where near long enough to truly enjoy the place, but enough time to not die of heat and still get to see the Japanese Gardens and the massive Cactus Garden. On my journey sharing a camera with Jesse (not an easy thing to do when everything you see could be a great shot) we ran across a beautiful and shady bamboo forrest. There were signs posted all over the area asking people to please not de-face the bamboo with graffiti. Seems it does no good and I spent a good deal of the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out why anyone needed to leave their initials or profess their love on the side of a protected garden.
