A few photos from yesterday's tour of the Chavez Ravine Arboretum, established in 1893 by the Los Angeles Horticultural Society. Located in #ElysianPark, the arboretum was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1967. recreation.parks.lacity.gov/horticulture... #horticulture #treesky

This color photo of a cloudy morning in Elysian Park features a faded wooden sign that reads "Elysian Park Arboretum / Department of Recreation and Parks / City of Los Angeles / Sponsored by Los Angeles Beautiful."

A color photo of a eucalyptus tree (lemon scented gum) leaning heavily to one side. The tour group can be seen at a distance walking away from the tree.

A color photo of a very tall cedar tree, one of the oldest in the Chavez Ravine Arboretum, on a cloudy Sunday morning.

A close up of the burgundy-colored Elysian Park map that stands in the park to show the location of the Chavez Ravine Arboretum. A corner of the plastic installed to protect the map has been torn out.
