Description
This is a spring day at the Filoli Garden in the Bay Area. This time of the year is just beautiful and a perfect scene for photography or just a stroll in the park. Tulips don't last very long and it is key to catch them at the right time. I was lucky to be at the garden right after it rained in early morning. This made all flowers stand out even more so than usual.
Filoli is a country house set in 16 acres (6.5 ha) of formal gardens surrounded by 654 acres (265 ha) estate, located in Woodside, California, about 25 miles (40 km) south of San Francisco, at the southern end of Crystal Springs Lake, on the eastern slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains.[3] Now owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Filoli is open to the public. The site is both a California Historical Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places . Filoli was built between 1915 and 1917 for William Bowers Bourn II, owner of one of California's richest gold mines and president of Spring Valley Water Company, supplying San Francisco's water,(wikipedia.com)
