Some Tulips from Keukenhoff - Amsterdam

Last weekend we made a trip to Amsterdam - The Tulip Garden of the World.It was a feast for the eyes. The garden was very beautiful and neatly arranged. I could not stop taking pictures of the flowers.

We missed the fields by a week as they were cultivated a bit early this year it seems, but we thoroughly enjoyed the huge garden.
Here are some of them for you to enjoy.

A delight for eyes

I sat down to post some receipes, but somehow I was not in the mood today.
Its cloudy and raining heavly outside.All the beautiful blooming trees are shedding their flowers...so sad to watch it.. I remembered taking some pictures last week when the trees were in full bloom,So thought of posting those.Why can't there be one more month of spring!!!!

Captured a squirrel enjoying its stolen food hiding behind a tree.

This weekend we visited Holland , Michigan.It was a three hours drive from chicago, but the trip was worth it.Holland is a small town which proudly hosts 'Tulip Time' event every year...There are several tulip farms over there and we visited the largest one.Though the number of tulips and the way they were planted were not as great as they have boasted in their website, the various bright colours of tulips was a feast to our eyes. You know what, I was surprised to see some black tulips too!!! The pictures came out excellent.

Posting some of my favourite pictures for you all to enjoy.
