Sunday Selections.


Sunday Selections, brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, is an ongoing theme where participants post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

Anyone can join in, just post your photos under the Sunday Selections title, link back to Kim, then add your name to her Linky list at Frogpondsrock.

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.

  2. I 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.

  3. Here 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.

  8. Thank 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.

  9. These 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.

  10. I love the tree/shrub in photos 3 & 5, the shape is so surprising and different.

    The layers created by the different shapes and shades in photo 4 are lovely also :)

  12. I 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.

    Your photos are lovely though, especially those first two!

  13. 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.

  14. Tulips 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!

    Your photos are beautiful, to return back to you and your blog :)

  15. 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".
