For lens-artist -photo-challenge, I am presenting four images taken from one place in Keukenhof garden. If standing on one point brings so much beauty and happiness, just imagine how much beauty the garden holds in it.
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly our whole life would change~Buddha
Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The April winds are magical, And thrill our tuneful frames; The garden-walks are passional To bachelors and dames ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mind should be allowed some relaxation, that it may return to its work all the better for the rest ~Seneca
And now one more image from the same garden for Becca’s Sunday trees.
One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others ~Lao Tzu
All images were taken in April 2018.
The third is my top fave, something about the new shoots.

Some say it is all artificial but I see and enjoy it as a piece of art and love visiting it.
Managing a garden for years requires serious planning and hard work. So many people and ideas are involved.

The garden is open until 19th May as per the website. The flowering report on 21st March said, “Every colour of well over 100 varieties of tulip are in bloom at the Willem-Alexander pavilion. The Oranje Nassau pavilion features tulips and hyacinths in every colour and of every variety.” I am not sure how long the inside tulips will last.
They were in full bloom in second week of April last year.
The garden is well planned and it will be colourful til the last day I guess.

You are kind to offer so much information! Thank you! I suspect most of the tulips will be gone by the time we visit the area. 😦 Your pictures will just have to do!
