This is how spring looks in The Netherlands.

Shot with an F100 and 20-40 lens on Velvia.

Very nice, the drift of tulips leading you into the image well.Good light and shadow on the grass.

I love all the greens in this, set off nicely by the white crocus, great lines leading the eye through the whole image.

Is this in Keukenhof, Marsel?

Toni - you are right on both account; yes, it is Keukenhof, and yes, it is Crocus. :smile:

I guess I better change the title now...

I like the new title, Marsel! It somehow seems very fitting. Thanks for this beautiful reminder of these gardens....you are very fortunate to live so close to them. :smile:
