Tulips in Holland (!)


There is no doubt about it - the tulip fields in Lisse, Holland, was the most incredible thing I've witnessed in Europe thus far. Really, really extraordinary. 

Only open two months of the year (usually April and May, I believe), Keukenhof Gardens right outside Amsterdam has seven million bulbs planted in it (!). It is unreal. I took nine hundred photos between my DSLR and iPod, no joke. Which means I have a lifetime's worth of new desktop backgrounds now too. 

So this post is just about the flowers and the photos. If you are ever in Europe in the spring, just go - you won't regret it. 

First, DSLR:













Naturally, my camera died, so I switched over to my iPod camera:










Can't stop thinking about those tulips. I'm truly blessed to get the chance to see such a wonderful thing.

Next up on the blog: Italia! :)

  1. Now I feel better about taking 1600 photos in Malaysia! (which I've never really gone through or posted). These flowers are amazing -- are they being grown so as to sell the bulbs?
