Filoli and Fun

We spent Easter weekend in Los Altos with John and Debbie. Nearby is a 654 acre estate with 16 acres of formal gardens, open to the public. Such a fabulous place, I wish now I has gotten more photos of the cherry trees in bloom. I guess because they were everywhere, I took them for granted. I'm sure this place is just as beautiful in summer, with a whole new set of flowers in bloom.
