Keukenhof
|
We spent time visiting with Andrew's Nanna yesterday but the plan today was to go to Keukenhof, the annual Tulip festival in Holland. This year is the 60th anniversary of Keukenhof and the 600th anniversary of exploration in what is now New York State. So, in a few places, there is a Dutch-New Amsterdam theme. Keukenhof is truly amazing for its variety and scope. The setting amongst tall trees, lush grass and still pools of water is idyllic. There is so much space that the atmosphere is relaxed and restful in the bigger gardens. There's also pavillons that have different emphases. One is filled with such an incredible array of tulips, one focused on orchids, one told the story of the tulip and has historical photos, and one has roses and a themed use of flowers. We spent most of the day there and had such glorious weather. We were thankful for the safe travel and the ability to spend this time admiring God's wonderful creation. I have some 50 photos up on Facebook for those who want to take a look. |
