Trees, Trees, and Trees

It was not what I was expecting. I do not know what it was, but for some reason the trees grabbed my attention as soon as we left LAX airport. There were trees everywhere. Not just typical trees, but on one side of the street there were palm trees and on the other some kind of pines. Then there were these amazing trees with violet flowers. I guess it wasn't so much the abundance of trees, but the variety. Driving through Long Beach I wanted to stop to take pictures, but was actually afraid to get out of the car (unfortunately the trees were the only nice things in this area). We did get to venture out to Hollywood and Beverly Hills....a totally different experience. Overall, it was another good trip to California.
