Escape~

On By cindy knokeIn Conservation, EXTERIOR & INTERIOR DESIGN, MY PHOTOGRAPHS, REVERIES, TRAVEL REVIEWS

to a garden of dreams,

where worries vanish,

in a tulip trance,

while daffodils dance.

There are over seven million tulips,

in the Keukenhof gardens in The Netherlands.

A perfect place to dream your day away.

I am home for the winter at The Holler, but send you springtime cheers from Keukenhof~

  4. Wonderful photos capturing the gardens and displays! I was there with my mum in April 2019… not sure when will have our next jaunt together. A lovely share … and escape 💕

  5. What a refreshing sight right now. I love tulips and have visited our tulip farm here when they open it to the public in April. I would love to go to the Netherlands to see them. It’s on my bucket list. 😉 Thanks for the lift.

  12. Such an amazing garden. It was heartbreaking when they closed it this year due to you-know-what. All that work and no admirers! 😉 Actually, they did let in press and photographers, many used drones which you can see on YouTube, so amazing to see it with no crowds.

  17. One year I went to the tulip festival at La Conner in Bellingham, and that was the first time I found out that tulips (if you get enough of them together) have a beautiful delicate scent. All this time I had thought they had no scent. Your photos are beautiful. I can almost smell the fragrance of those tulips.

  18. Gorgeous and unchanging…I was there as a teenager with my mother. We had a wonderful time in that beautiful country. I’ll never forget it. Thank you for sweet memories 😘

    1. And canal houses, canal boats, windmills, porcelain, incredible Dutch Master painters, beautiful architecture, museums, doll houses, limiting green house emissions with bicycles …… I could keep going on all day about what you Dutch are amazing at. And by no means can I forget the chocolate!! I would like some right now in fact! I love The Netherlands which is why I keep coming back დ

  20. We need right now this injection of beauty and energy to our lives! I am counting down the days until we finish 2020. Thanks so much, Cindy! You and yours stay safe! Have a great weekend! 🙂

  42. When I saw the very first picture, I was wondering if that was in the Netherlands. And then, a little further down, you mentioned the famous “Keukenhof”. Even if I grew up not far from the Netherlands I’ve never been there, tough.
    Gorgeous pictures, Cindy.
    Have a great weekend,
    Pit

  43. What a stunning gift, Cindy — thank you! Winter hasn’t even arrived here yet, but already I’m longing for spring. I know each season offers its own beauty, but how I love the newness and freshness of spring! Those tulips are magnificent!

  48. What a beautiful setting! These photos made my heart happy, especially the river image. I want to dive in and float along with the river in peaceful bliss surrounded by bright tulips! Thank you Cindy. ❤
