What a difference a week makes!
We visited Filoli again this past weekend. The color just tripled, especially with the Daffs. Filoli advertisements drew in crowds. I found the gardens a happy place, with kids squealing and running all over the place, playful in anticipation of an early Spring. Groups of flower-lovers huddled around knowledable docents. Everyone seemed to enjoy the quiet and beauty of the place. I took a break from photographing the yellows, the whites and the pinks, just to enjoy myself.
The guards gently rounded us late-comers to observed the 3:30pm closing. All of us found the day too short.
I can't wait until they bring out the tulips. This Spring should bring out the full Splendor of colors and shapes, as Lurline Roth (the founder of Filoli) wished.
