FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - Amsterdam

I am back to posting on when we visited the bulb fields at Keukenhof Gardens in Holland and linking it with Fridays Hunt and Weekend Reflections.  This week we have the letter U, Favourite and Kids.  Near the end of our stay there is started raining and guess what, I have UMBRELLA images to show you and also a REFLECTION shot as well as some KIDS under UMBRELLAS. Enjoy.






I will be showing you more about this windmill when we get to the letter ‘W’









Although it rained, it did not stop us enjoying the great beauty of the flowers.

Many thanks for visiting and also for all your comments.

  1. Umbrella pictures are always so much fun. My favorite umbrella picture is the one with the pink azaleas, she is looking over the tulip fields in the distance. I love the big green archway. And someone is sitting in a big wooden shoe! I do hope you post again about this windmill, it is awesome! And why are all those people holding up those big wooden sticks on the windmill? The bulb pictures are gorgeous!

  2. Those 'big wooden sticks' that you mention are part of the construction of the windmill and at the top of the 'sticks' you will see a platform where people are standing and in fact that is wher I took the 8th shot from Ginny.

    Did you know that there is a windmill 'language'? Where the sails are set has meaning...

  9. What a selection of umbrellas ! Great flowers you're sharing again, Margaret. Thanks for visiting my blog. I wondered WHY I was doing the hike once it was under way. Because I wasn't 100% over my cold yet. But was very glad when I made it. Else I'd have to wait another year to do this specific walk. Have a great day. Jo
