Sometimes there's too much time between showings but not quite enough, if you know what I mean. It happened that way a couple of days ago. So instead of just waiting around, we took a drive to Sherwood Gardens on that absolutely gorgeous spring afternoon.

Shorts, sandals, and bare feet were all over the place. It was a wonderful scene of strolling visitors, a few dogs, kids of various ages, and this one little guy who was not much larger than some of the tulips.

These magnificent tulips are in their full glory right now. Last year I went there with a visiting friend from Active Rain at just about the same time, and wrote about it in Tiptoe Through .... with Caleb. To quote myself, "The gardens were begun in 1927 by John Sherwood, a local petroleum pioneer and conservationist. What started as a hobby has become one of the most famous tulip gardens in North America."

You can see  the azaleas are going to be spectacular though they're not yet in full bloom. That might be next week, but by then the tulips might be gone, so I'm glad we went when we did.

What a lovely way to spend an hour between showings in beautiful Baltimore.
