Window Views from the Getty Museum

Window Views and Doors Too is a fun weekly meme with it’s own blog site hosted by Mary the Professor. Click on over and join in the fun showing us some doors and windows you’ve found.

My views this week are windows. They are from the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California.

This is the main lobby that you first enter after coming up the hill from the parking structure on a tram.

 

There are a few magnificent “Period” Rooms with great furnishings and paneling.

 

The outside views are spectacular, too.

I highly recommend a visit to this Museum if you are ever in the Los Angeles Area. If you scroll down you can see more posts about the Getty Museum.

Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

Outdoor Wednesday ~ The Getty Museum

Boy do these weeks just seem to be flying by. It’s time for Outdoor Wednesday again. So visit Susan at A Southern DayDreamer to see the outdoor world through the lens of bloggers.

Last Friday 3 of us bloggers got together at The Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The Getty sits high above Brentwood in the Santa Monica Mountains. We had great views this day of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Santa Monica, Westwood, The Miracle Mile. We could see all the way to Downtown Los Angeles.

 

This is Willow from Willow’s Cottage and me. Behind us you can see the Miracle Mile on Wilshire Blvd.

 

Sara from Much Ado About Something has a great post that talks about the architecture and amazing travertine marble used in the structures at the museum.

 

The travertine blocks are rough and filled with crystalline deposits and fossils.

 

 

Looking back at the main buildings from the Sunken Garden

 

 

 

Our time was at it’s end and Willow and I headed back North on the 405 fwy over the Sepulveda Pass and Sara headed south on the 405 fwy.

Ruby at the Getty Museum…

It’s time to visit Mary at Work of the Poet for Ruby Tuesday.

All my Ruby sightings were at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. The Getty Museum sits on top of a hill overlooking the Los Angeles Basin and the Pacific Ocean.

 

In this shot my ruby is on the right. I’ll show close ups of these large bougainvillea plants.

 

 

I think it’s really cool how they are shaping these plants.

This Pomegranate tree was growing in the sunken garden area.  I’ll leave you with a couple shots of Ruby from inside the Museum.

 

I’ll be posting some window shots and more outdoor shots from the Getty Museum later this week. Thanks for stopping by and Happy November everyone…

Come, Heaven-Bound Pilgrims ~ Hymn

Come, Heaven-Bound Pilgrims

Come, Heaven-bound pilgrims, and join in God’s praise,
Come seek now His blessing and learn of His ways,
In humble devotion bow low at His feet,
In true spirit worship, His favor entreat.

Let each one consider the price we have cost,
Let each one be burdened with souls that are lost,
And seek that infilling of pow’r from above,
That fits us for service and fills us with love.

Remember each other in true, fervent prayer,
Pray too for God’s servants that they may declare
The message of truth with an anxious desire,
That all be enkindled with heavenly fire.

O gracious Redeemer, be with us we pray,
Breathe on us Thy Spirit to show us the way,
And fill us with goodness, with peace and delight,
That all to Thy glory may shine as a light.

Words: John M. Shenk. 1902
