Keukenhof, Netherlands
Holland is well know for its tulips. And one of the best places to see them is at the Keukenhof Gardens, about 20 minutes outside of Amsterdam. The Gardens are laid out in themes, with flower placement by individual tulip growers of the area. It makes for a very impressive display! And you can tell it is enjoyed by the huge crowds that stroll through the grounds.
Our cruise had a one day layover in Amsterdam, a great opportunity to visit the gardens. A quick train and bus ride from the port (which is city Center Amsterdam) brings you to the gardens. Here are some random images from our walk.

Dogs, and Arboretum
Spring is starting in Dallas area! Today, Stacy and Dallas invited us over for a brunch and to go over wedding plans. As usual, good food, family company, and things to look forward to!
The weather was so nice I just had to take a few pictures of the dogs playing outside. After that, we made a little side trip to the Dallas Arboretum to look at all the flowers springing up. The Arboretum is a favorite place for us to go multiple time during the year.

Tulip time at the Arboretum
It’s tulip time at the Dallas Arboretum so we joined Stacy and Dallas for a nice picnic lunch and tulip viewing session. We had a great time until rain eventually drove us out. But the colors of the tulips, and the large plantings and layout, were beautiful. Some images:
