Perhaps it is boring, but I have so many pictures of the tulip fields. I just had to upload some more.

Keukenhof Gardens, Holland

Tourists taking pictures in the tulip fields in Egmond.

... as we returned across the bridge. This picture shows so well the sheer of the ship -- and indeed, the surprisingly pronounced camber of the bow!

The weather at Keukenhof was ghastly! Icy wind and the gardens were totally bare, except for a few lost crocus blooms here and there. Outside the park the bulbfields were also different shades of brown. So it was very disappointing.Luckily inside the hothouse there were some pretty flowers to see and to shoot. It wasn't always possible to make a good composition, because people walked in front of your camera.

The sun had come out for a while!
