boxy bear's adventures

enjoying the serenity of the gardens and lake!

The Lake Shrine Temple off PCH and Sunset Blvd in Pacific Palisades is my newest discovery…it’s a beautiful 10 acre garden complete with a lake, swans, ducks, turtles, and koi fish. Many people come here to meditate, so you gotta remember to keep your voice low. There are plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the quietness and serenity of the gardens, and they even provide pellets you can use to feed the animals!

so after feeding the duckies and fishies, i strolled through the rest of the gardens. here is a bench tiled with a swan design…soo purty!

i even came across a nice black kitty who i played with and agreed to take a picture with me

and there are lots and lots of flowers and shady trees! if you’re ever in the area, you should stop by…great place to enjoy some alone time, read, or just take a walk.
