There is nothing quite as magnificent as springtime in tulip country. Our first stop in the Netherlands was to Keukenhof Gardens, which boasts acres of bulb beds tucked amidst woodlands, streams, and reflecting ponds.
If I wait til I have a cohesive post you may never see them all so am just going to jump in and upload.
I had to challenge myself to step back and take the long view ; )
…and a challenge it was at times to shoot completely manually when the light and shadows changed at every turn.
But I still got plenty of close in shots to play with. I am a detail person. : )

Absolutely beautiful!!! I would feel like I was in Heaven. 🙂
Wow! Thank you for sharing these awe-inspiring photos of these gardens.
Omigosh! So beautiful! +JMJ+
I love the white garden with the well!
We lived in Germany for five years in the 80’s (I left when I was 14, and they had to drag me out of there). Holland was one of my favorite places, and the Keukenhof was pure heaven. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Den Haag, Maduradam (sp?) etc. was just a very joyful time in my life.
Wow! Simply gorgeous. Let’s see some of those close-ups! ;o)
Truly frame-worthy…I knew you would love it there! 🙂
Your photos and stories are all so beautiful!
