Tulip Fields

This is actually my mother's photograph from my parents' recent trip to Holland, but oh how I wish it was mine and that I'd been there to see it with my own eyes. I usually post my own work here but this was too beautiful not to share.

A couple of hours north of Seattle is a tulip festival every spring that looks like this, the Skagit Valley Tulip thing. Holland is probably closer to you, though. A sight worth travelling to, I think!

Wow! That's a field full of colors :)

Gorgeous picture. There is a place like that in southern California, near the town of Lompoc.

Gorgeous- does Holland still import bulbs from Israel and then grow them in Holland? I think I heard that once and was surprised....maybe it was another type of flower

I have been Beth, although quite a while ago. It's a wonderful country to visit. Someday though I definitely want to make it there during tulip season!

My mother went and she told me about the miles of beautiful flowers... Pictures can't capture how beautiful they are in real life.. How I long to see them... You mother took a wonderful picture

Gorgeous color, In Calif we have about 2 weeks of Spring and then slam into Summer so seeing sights like this are refreshing!

Claremont First Ward said...

Amazing. When I lived in ORegon, I went to this tulip farm every spring where there were acres and acres of tulips just like these.

followthatdog said...

Beautiful. When you see photos like that is it no wonder so much important European art came out of the Netherlands.

My brother is stationed in Germany and he and his wife toddled on over there to see them. {lucky poopheads} This weekend they're going to Istanbul {again, lucky poopheads}. Oh well, do it while you're young and childless and living overseas...LOL!
Those tulips are just beautiful.

Soo beautiful! I've seen those tulip fields while in Holland (Keukenhof Gardens) in the spring of 2006! I'd love to go there again.
