The Magnificent Tulips of the Netherlands - If my Heart had Wings it Would Take Me Here!

A friend of mine forwarded me some stunning photos of tulips in the Netherlands and I must say, my stress level went down just looking at them.

I've never wanted travel to a place just from looking at the photos, but I have to say, I truly want to attend the Tulip Festival in the Netherlands. I think my heart is aching to do it...just from photos.

So, to get this urge out of me, I've decided to create this web page, featuring the magnificent photo art of Tulip Season in the Netherlands. It won't fill the void of my wanting to go there though! *Sigh*

I hope you enjoy this Art as much as my soul does.

Look out Netherlands, Here I Come!

John Denver is singing the theme song! For just the right Mood, Play this Song While You Scroll through this Lens

This lens is begging for a theme song, and this one is perfect: I'm leaving on a Jet Plane......"I'm leaving on a Jet Plane, don't know when I'll be back again"....*sigh*

His words are screaming at me! Catching a plane today never sounded this good...."I don't wanna go to Miamiiiiiiiii"...."I want to go to the Netherlands during tulip season"....

TAKE ME THERE JOHN!!!!

Six Million Tulips in Keukenhof Art Print

The Garden of Europe - Don't Know When I'll be Back Again!

"Oh Babe, I Hate to Go"....

Keukenhof translates to "Kitchen Garden". They plant approximately seven million flower bulbs each year, making it the largest flower garden in the world.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to work in a garden like this! This kind of gardening may erase all the worries of the day. Can you picture yourself standing in this field surrounded by natural color, and beauty only the Angels can put words too?

According to Wikipedia, Keukenhof Park is open from the last week in March to mid-May and the best time to plan a trip to this park would be the middle of April. I'm writing this in mid april, and it's pouring rain here in Canada, and if I could, I would catch a plane tomorrow!

"Cause I'm Leavin' on a Jet Plane"

If you hate to fly, looking at this from the sky just may change your mind! The colors can literally take your breath away; I mean I don't know that from personal experience, but gheesh, just look at that photo!!!

Can you imagine the glorious aroma emitted from these flower fields?

If I had to choose a way to view this, it would be from a hot air balloon.

I Hate to Wake You Up to Say Goodbye!

I really didn't want to wake you up to say goodbye, but my heart is calling, and John Denver's words are speaking to me....I'm leavin' on a Jet Plane....to see the Flower Parade in Keukenhof...hope that plane is fast, cause in 2011 that Parade is today, April 16th! Fly my pilot, fly!!

A House Surrounded by Tulips

All My Bags are Packed and I'm ready to go

House with Tulip Fields in the Netherlands

Oh yes they are! My bags are packed, they're sitting on the front step, and I'm ready to go to the Netherlands to stay in this house!

I plan to sit on the front step and soak in the flowers from morning 'til night. I'll take a few pee breaks, but otherwise will be walking the fields, sipping lemonade and wine!

Tulip Lands in the Leiden Area in the Netherlands

The Dawn is Breaking, and it's Early Morn...

When my jet plane lands it will be early morning and I'm confident this view would make a grown man sob like a toddler.

I have never known paradise on earth, but these fields of flowers may be the closest one could ever get. Yes they built it, and I want to come!

"In my song there's a heart, in my heart there's a song, in this view is a journey for which I have longed "(just my own saying to sum it up!).

A Field of Flowers Can Break a Heart!

Hold Me Like You'll Never Let Me Go

"Every place I go, I'll think of you; Every song I'll sing, I'll sing for you"

That's what these flowers say. Our eyes behold the beauty, but we have to let it go, knowing each year it will return so we can hold them in our mind once again.

Where there is beauty, there is life, and to live to see this spectacular display of wonder, once every year, is just another reason to fall in love with this planet.

Now the Time has Come to Leave You

"Tell Me that You'll Wait for Me...."

Keukenhof Gardens, located in an area known as "The Dune and Bulb Region" in South Holland, will wait for me...next year, and the year after.

It's a "Bucket List" destination, for as long as we both shall live.

"Close your eyes, I'll be on my way"....
