corner view :: spring ::

when i think spring, i think outdoors, colors, flowers, (animal) births... i think renewal...

once every two years we try to go to one of our favorite european destinations around easter : the netherlands. and particularly to keukenhof = a beautiful park devoted to spring flowers. this is where i'm virtually taking you today.

next corner view should be fun :: vending machines ::

edit : i don't photoshop. the orange tulips were truly of that vibrant orange !

    I will never forget my visit there in a million years!! At first I didn't want to go, because I thought it was a bit too touristy and my mother in law wanted us to go so badly. She sometimes is not the best judge of destinations.
    So, we went, and boy I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!! There are no words for the beauty there. You know there is a God when you see those blooms!
    Have fun, and wish all the flowers, happy spring for me :)

    LOL at your MIL Elizabeth ;) yes I'd love to go again, this time with my Sigma lens, see what it can do... maybe next year...

    Angie : thank you for your supportive words, I do what I can, without any calculation, manual reading. Mother Nature makes inspiration easy.

    Your photos are stunning! And I love to live vicariously through your blog and others and see parts of the world I wouldn't normally see (at least, not very often). Thanks!

    I heard of Corner View last winter & found it was such a great idea ! I loooove to "travel" through blogs as well. Can you tell my major @ college was Tourism ?! ;P

    Alors la chasse aux oeufs a été plus fructueuse cette fois ? Nouus profitons du soleil aujourd'hui en espérant que cela dure, du coup nous guettons les bourgeons et la nature qui se réveille... chouette ! rien d'aussi fantastique ici cependant, I wish...
