Spring? Soon.
Had a chance to visit Filoli Gardens today in celebration of my amazing and talented mom-in-law and the occasion of her birth.
She produced and nurtured The Good Man, and thus a celebration of her is *always* in order.
Filoli Gardens is one of those magical destinations where it’s almost impossible to take a bad photo. The grounds are carefully tended and the springtime brings a riot of colors to life.
It’s only just recently reopened for the season, and the grounds are simply gorgeous, so I thought I’d share a few photos.
I dedicate these lovely flowers to to the folks who are still stuck in the cold and snow who might be wondering just when in the heck Spring will arrive.
Each of these little flowers whispers to you softly, “soon…”
Enjoy!

Amazing purple hyacinth, just had to capture them quickly so I could see them again and again.
I am a big fan of tulips. So hearty yet so delicate.
And daffodils hold a special place in my heart. They signal a beginning. Their yellow sunshine in the midst of dreary winter is a promise to be kept by April.

Ephraim – Wow, what a difference a crop makes! Your version really has impact! Thank you for sharing your take on the photo!
No need to remove it, you mention where you found it, that’s all I ask.
