on sunday, i visited the wooden shoe tulip farm. the last time i was there (a couple of years ago), the only fields in bloom that day were a field of red tulips and a field of yellow daffodils. this time, all the fields were in full bloom. it was amazing - row after row of bright colorful gorgeous tulips.
i am taking friday off of work and am tempted to go back. the only problem .. apparently photos of tulips are like photos of the pup - meaning it's hard to delete any of them. let's just say that i have a lot of photos from sunday.
p.s. in case you're interested, there's still time to enter the giveaway.
*SIGH*... I would just love to stroll, and run and skip along those little dirt "alleys" between the rows of tulips... Tulip Heaven! Enjoy your day off, Elizabeth... go back for more tulips. ;o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

Oh my goodness, first of all, I am 100% Dutch, so this is my heritage! I have actually been to the tulip gardens in Holland - didn't know they had that here!! Also, much of my family lives in Holland, Michigan, where they have a huge tulip festival in May. One of these days...
I'm not a bit surprised that you couldn't stop shooting. I'm sure I would be the same - it's so freeing not to have to worry about film! Really, really lovely shots!!
And Lastly, thanks so much for your comments about "joy" on my blog. It's a very interesting concept and I'm certainly still learning as well. Happy Tuesday to you and your wonder-dog!!!

They are so gorgeous, Elizabeth. I wouldn't be able to delete any, either. You've given me such a lift with the bright colors of these beauties today. :)

All those colors are a feast for the eyes! For some reason, the purple ones really spoke to me.
Here, tulip leaves are out of the ground, and some buds have started appearing. I'm looking forward to seeing the flowers bloom. Soon!
