It’s spring time and we sometimes forget that the magnificent Filoli Gardens  are just minutes away. Located on a 654 – acre estate in Woodside, a visit in the spring is a must.  18 minutes from Burlingame,  the estate is easy to reach from Hwy 280. For directions and hours go to: www.filoli.org . I took these pictures of my favorite settings on a recent visit: daffodil fields , tulips and weeping japanese cherry tree  .
