Tulip Festival

(Rows of tulips at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival... this is the opening weekend, so not all of the flowers are in full bloom yet!)

Mum and I visit the Tesselaar Tulip Festival, an annual celebration of the arrival of Spring. Sorry about posting so many pictures, but I had trouble picking my favourite! :)

Spring is definitely in the air now... yippee!!

busybee36 Those rows of tulips will be spectacular when all the flowers open up. I like the sculpture of the two people on the bench. I think my favourite is #3, the yellow tulips.

Muhlyssa Stunning. My favorite flower - it looks like you travelled to Holland, who knew about that festival in Oz. How cool!

AuroraSky That is a beautiful shot of your mother! I find it so fascinating that you, being in the opposite hemisphere, experience the opposite season from what I am seeing. I'm over here trimming things back for Autumn/Winter while you get to enjoy all those beautiful tulips....not fair! ;)
