Just a few more photos from Aimee's and my trip to the Huntington. We went through the Japanese gardens. But unfortunately, the heat and humidity kept us from checking out the Chinese gardens and conservatory, both of which are new and I haven't been in.
This shaded bamboo walk was pretty.
And this iconic view of the bridge and tea house is perfect.
Entrance to the Japanese gardens. I took some photos of the amazing bonsai trees, but didn't seem to download them.
Statue of Diana
Oliver Cromwell. Not necessarily the best of persons but certainly influential. Now that I know I am a distant relation, had to take a photo.
We checked out the European Art in the mansion house. I have always liked this painting "Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse".
Pinkie is famous
Chandelier in the dining room 
More modern British painting
Sancho Panza as a youth
Loved this, but you know I am a dog person.
Italian hill town
Gauguin
We had high tea in the Tea room. I should have taken more pics than just the scones, but was too busy eating.
In addition to art, the Huntington is known for it's library. They have one of the original Gutenburg bibles. This illustration is from a page of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
This is from an Illustrated Book Of Hours, or a prayer book.
