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~

I love the Keulenhof garden, went there one spring when the tulips were in bloom – took my breath away! As always, hypnotically stunning photos!
So glad you have been & thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment დ
I love those spring flowers! How beautiful to see them at this time of year!
Happy you enjoyed Lavinia. We could use a little spring right now! დ
Cindy what a wonderful garden! I can’t wait for our tulips to come up and it’s only November. Let’s hope it’s a short winter.
Leslie xoxo
You have my vote for a short winter Leslie. Stay safe my friend დ
You as well Cindy, thank you.

Great gardens feed the soul like nothing else. Welcome sights as winter approaches! Thank you!
Thanks much! Hope you and your family stay safe and well this winter Peter დ
Is it already freezing in The Holler? We have only had one light frost here on the Island! Covid is surging again, so we are reverting toMarch with masks, gloves, and no visitors! Stay well in CA, all of you!
So pretty. Definitely not what it looks like outside my window! Lol.
Nor mine, unfortunately! დ
Your lovely posts reminds me that better days are in our future spring time.
Better days are coming, spring is around the corner დ დ
“A perfect place to dream your day away.” So true, Cindy. It’s a real life fantasy world 🙂
We need tulip fantasies these days! დ
Wow!.. We all need a garden of dreams, nowadays more than ever…
Stay safe, dear Cindy!
We can fly there in our minds and stay as long as we like. Stay safe and well my friend დ
Beautiful, Cindy. I was happy to escape alt-reality. 🙂 Thanks. Curt
Yes. We need to escape these days and our minds can help us do so beautifully! Cheers to you Curt დ
Except in the middle of the night. 🙂 Then it’s time too get up and read some escapist literature!
Funny….that happened to both my husband and I last night. Strange times indeed.
I’ve had to program in afternoon naps.
Good plan დ
🙂
So beautiful! I see some of those almost black purple ones in one photo! The Dutch once spent more money for these than for their houses during tulip mania in 1600s. I’m glad just to enjoy their beauty during these dark times. Thank you!
Yes, tulips were like gold and were traded with the same intensity. Thank you Kathy for your kind thoughts. They are much appreciated დ დ
A beautiful escape indeed. It is certainly a most pleasant and much needed reminder that there are places on this earth unspoiled, preserved and nurtured in such a way that it takes us to places where our heart and mind find rest from all that is going on around us.. Your images capture and reflect a voice all their own even without their captions. Take care and stay well, Cindy.

I’ve been there, when I was a kid. We went with another family during Easter break (what they call spring break nowadays). I think in April 1963. 🙂

Hi. Over seven million tulips in one place. It’s a paradise, for sure. I’ve never seen tulip fields in person, but I would love to.
They don’t grow at The Holler either. I have to travel to see them enmasse. I hope you see them someday soon დ
