Don't forget to charge the camera battery. Duhhhh!
My husband and I went on a trip to northern California for a few days to visit family and friends. We took our camera, of course. We went to a beautiful place near to where my aunt and uncle live in Woodside CA called Filoli that I haven't seen in many years. I was really looking forward to taking photos of the gardens. Filoli is an incredible 654-acre country estate in Woodside about 20 miles south of San Francisco with 16 acres of the most stunning formal gardens. A number of movies were filmed there including Heaven Can Wait with Warren Beatty. At the front steps of the visitor center we were greeted by pots full of the most gorgeous spring flowers I think I had ever seen. Out came the camera and oh no!! The battery was dead. Boy was I disappointed. And to top it off, I didn't even think of using my Iphone to take photos until we were leaving. All I have is memories and these two photos I took with my IPhone.
Filoli, I'll be back - and with a fully charged battery.
In case you are wondering where the name Filoli comes from, it was from the first two letters in each of the three phrases of the original owner's credo. Fight for a just cause, Love your fellow man, Live a good life.
