Filoli Gardens

I have visited many National Trust properties in Britain and Australia, but never one to my recollection in the US. That was remedied today by a trip to Filoli near Menlo Park, Palo Alto (Tall Tree) and Los Altos at the western end of Silicon Valley. The weather was glorious - sunny and warm - and the destination amazing. Indeed, it left in the shade several UK NT places I have visited. Perhaps the following images of the acres of landscaped gardens will illustrate my point.

Need I say more. It's well worth a visit, especially on a good day like today.
