Beauty and heart in Balboa Park.

A busy Sunday afternoon in Balboa Park. There is much living to do.

Another fine Sunday afternoon in Balboa Park.

More beauty.

More sunshine.

More smiles.

More heart.

I could take a million photographs during walks through Balboa Park, because there is always something new.

    1. I recently read your article on Balboa Park Plumeria plants. My name is Robert Chubinsky, I put them there. I was President of Balboa Park Horseshoe Club for a while and planted them starting in 2012. I grew them on my patio in South Mission Beach. My patio was getting crowded, I had over 40 plants many too big for my patio and started planting them. It was my legacy to the park. All that was there before were weeds and dirt with no blocks. I had the outer bank built with the landscape blocks to give an outside border and filled it with dirt and planted the trees. I moved to Arizona in 2015 and am now President of the Arizona State Horseshoe Pitchers Association.
      Sincerely
      Robert Chubinsky
