Wow! Thank you so much for the stroll down memory lane! We lived in Holland, among the Dutch people, for three years. It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. It amazes me that things still look so much the same after all of these years! If you have more photos of Keukenhof in bloom, please post them. That is truly spring in bloom! Are the yards in that area still filled with "still life paintings" made of flower petals? I could spend another three years there and still love every minute of it. So happy I found your post; thank you again for sharing.

BookLady, I don't know about any still life paintings from flowers, but we were early in the blooming season, so maybe they weren't out yet. I have some nice pictures from Keukenhof that I will post later. Here is a teaser:  |

and a few more unrelated pics: these swans were in the canal right by our hotel.  we saw this go by as we were walking home from dinner one night. I took this with my iPhone.  my second night in Amsterdam, our clients took us to a gourmet restaurant called "The Five Flies". We had a 5 course dinner that was exceptional (except for the starter). It was very much like the food they show it Top Chef. It is kind of small, but you can see the sign with five flies on it.  |

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love

awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing. I have a question. Do you think they ever have flooding , I am asking because of all the flooding going on here, and I see that some of their water levels look awfully close to even with the grass/ sidewalks.?

I am not an expert by any means, but while I think flooding is possible, I don't think it is likely. Since the Dutch have reclaimed so much land from the sea, they have water management down to a fine science. The canals you see in these pictures are part of this system. They are pumping water all the time from this reclaimed land. So, I don't think they have the same problems that we are seeing in the US. |
