 The Chancellor's Rose Garden (next to the 750-seat Irvine Barclay Theatre) |
As you walk by, the faint scent of roses beckons you over to have a look. May their lovely spirit lift your own as you gaze upon them. Photos copyright © Summer 2008 Kat Avila / Camera: Canon SD1000 Time: Mostly between 7:30-8:30 a.m. Frost can be seen on some of the roses. |

| Form No. 2 by Brian Pellar: I never get tired of looking at this statue at the garden's center. It says something different every time I view it. | ||||

| Form No. 2 by Brian Pellar, in the rain, photos copyright © Jan. 2010 Kat Avila, camera: Canon SD780 IS. The rain on the base of the statue reflects the fair-weather clouds up above. I took the photos during a break between storms. The rose garden has been pruned back. | ||||
