I took my friend Joe's advice and drove over to the Gilcrease Museum this afternoon to have a look at the azalea gardens. Joe was right.... they are gorgeous. Like so many large gardens, photos just can't do them justice, I'm afraid. And just as I got there, the sun went behind a large cloud, so the colors in my pics aren't as vibrant as they could be in the proper light. But enough excuses from me. Just look at the pictures and imagine it being 100 times prettier in person. By the way, the Gilcrease isn't directly on Route 66, but it's close enough!
