Huntington from this weekend.

[aimeekitty]

This weekend was the first couple days when it wasn't hot. I was so happy! There were clouds in the sky and I felt like all of two drops of rain. haha. So I dragged Mitch out and we went to the Huntington.


all the roses were in bloom. they smelled gorgeous.






neither of us had seen the main art gallery since it was remodeled.
Mitch loves old books, especially ones with beautiful bindings. He had to inspect them. XD


I love this painting, her face and pose is so whimsical!

Great pictures! I really like that painting you photographed! Do you know who it's by?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

It's by Joshua Reynolds I think. She was from the same time period as Georgiana Cavendish hence her "studiedly casual" outfit. :) (there's one of Georgiana hanging nearby)
"Diana (Sackville), Viscountess Crosbie," Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1777.

Who's the fat guy, and why'd you ditch the thin hunk I saw you with 6 weeks ago?

Mitch ist sehr, sehr lustig!

He's so funny!

You two have to be the most adorable couple ever, has anyone told you that?

That is a beautiful trip.

I'll have to go there for a photo shoot when I finish my Rozalin cosplay.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

they don't really allow cosplay photography unless you pay like $700. *_*

[koi-suru-usagi.livejournal.com]

Serious? Man.
I guess it's understandable though.

Beautimous!

Gorgeous. I miss the Huntington. Now that I know the art gallery has reopened, I may have an excuse to pencil in another visit. :)

Ohh I remember reading about that painting in one of my history books. I love that type of style. So how did you and your husband meet? XD

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

We met through some mutual friends in the Gargoyles fandom. We didn't do online dating though. :)

Sounds like you had fun

Awww, pretty!!!! And brings back happy memories of the trip when you guys took me out there. ♥ ♥ ♥

They didn't have that painting when we went, though, I'm pretty sure I would have remembered it... it's gorgeous! :)

PS - super cute skirt. ♥
