My MonoMad Post ~ Two Images From the Ventura Botanical Gardens

I posted a Wednesday Walk today, with views of the newly re-opened Ventura Botanical Gardens. Every aspect of the gardens was impacted by the devastating Thomas Fire last year, but volunteers have already replanted thousands of plants and worked on the walkways and paths. Here are a couple of black and white images from the gardens, offered for the #MonoMad daily photo contest led by @brumest and @monochromes.
