Even thoguh the Spring season has made its entry by virtue of the Sun passing the vernal equinox, New England has not seen very Spring-like weather; overcast skies, occasional snow and temperatures only coming a little above freezing have made this week feel more like a continuation of Winter.
Time to off-set the mood with something more reminiscent of what we’re hoping for…
These tulips were indoors at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, which is a 10-minute drive from my house. A wonderful place to go recharge, when the weather hasn’t allowed for nature to catch up with the beauty you are hoping to see.
When I took this photo 5 years ago, the weather was much like it is today, so I took a trip to Tower Hill. The displays were breathtaking, as usual, with indoor growth providing stunning color and even the occasional outdoor display showing signs of revival.
Hope you enjoy!
