Gardening is one of my many obsessions so today I am at Tulip Tops, an extravaganza of blossom and bulbs, held each year to celebrate spring. Classical music is piped from speakers in the trees, and frogs croak in the water ways. Bliss. Some day my garden will look like this (or at least in my dreams it will).
A girl can dream. A girl should dream.
Beautiful :) I love tulips and tulip festivals.That sounds lovely with all the sound effects as well. The cherry blossoms are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love tulips as well, but they get eaten here by the wallabies. I enjoy a lovely formal garden but don't have the energy or the water to maintain one. That is why photos like these make me smile.
ReplyDeleteHere it is the cockatoos who wreak havoc. They don't seem to eat them, but they love pulling them out of the ground. And while it irritates me, I love the cockies too.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty. I love blossoms and tulips. Unfortunately I have a brown thumb, not a green one.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. I like blossoms and flowers, but I LOVE conifers.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos from a gorgeous location. I may be inspired to post some languishing photos...
ReplyDeleteNature always shines best in springtime your fantastic photos are glowing proof of that :-).
ReplyDeleteThank you River, Mitzi, Windsmoke. It was the place rather than any skill on my part. Everywhere I looked there were things of beauty. It has become an annual pilgrimage.
ReplyDeleteThese are simply beautiful photos - there is something so cheering and uplifting about the spring explosion and I am really enjoying seeing this virtual spring as we usually don't get tulips or blooms on the trees here until May. It's like a sneak preview of next month.
ReplyDeleteI love the tree/shrub in photos 3 & 5, the shape is so surprising and different.
ReplyDeleteThe layers created by the different shapes and shades in photo 4 are lovely also :)
what a fantastic, amazing, dream-inducing place!! certain climates in this world are very much quite enviable... yes, a girl should dream!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy formal gardens, but I don't want one myself. I like a 'wildlife' garden, suitable for dogs and sitting out reading a book in the shade, with soft perfume and plenty of birds.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely though, especially those first two!
I agree on the subject of formal gardens - I like them but don't have the energy or willpower (not to mention the water) to create/maintain them myself. Ours is a jungle. Perfume, cats, dappled shade.
ReplyDeleteTulips mean instant elegance, don't they? Maybe that's why my garden is the floral equivalent of my fashion sense: dead bushes, weeds and dog turds!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful, to return back to you and your blog :)
Around here I can sing about my garden, as in "the weeds are as high as an elephant's eye" and it looks like they're climbing way up to the sky".
ReplyDeletecan & should, yes!
ReplyDeleteGlory and cats...my kinda place
