The Ananda tulip gardens at ‘Ananda at Crystal Hermitage’ is breath taking in the month of April when the tulips are blooming. Only about 20 minutes from my home, I finally had the pleasure of visiting for the first time and took a few photos. The tulips alone are beautiful but it’s the layering of color and texture that I found so pleasing to the eye. The view is amazing with the canyon of the Yuba River below. The gardens are always blooming with some kind of a seasonal beauty.

Photos don’t do the beauty justice but these are some of my favorites.
