We don't need to drive far to see tulip fields...
as the Tulips of the Valley
are just across the river from our place.
Heidi called on Friday...
to see if I might want to join them on a trek to the tulip fields sometime soon.
We realized we better go right away...
or we would miss them this year...
since this was the last weekend the fields were open.
Off we went.
Heidi, Maggie, Lucy and Grammy.
And when we arrived...
Maggie couldn't believe her good fortune.
Her good friend and neighbour was arriving at the very same time.
Tiptoeing through tulip fields with friends makes it all the more fun!
Lucy thought so too.
Though some of the fields had already been mowed...
...we still found lots of colour.
Popping pinks...
...and bright reds.
Lucy really wanted to do a little picking!
For the record ~ 2013!
Maggie and her friend skipped around the entire field.
They picked up the pace a little when they noticed a real-life princess standing in the flowers.
Tulips make a great backdrop for wedding photos...
don't you think?
She made it!
(Lucy that is)
Farewell to the tulips of 2013...
at least those on Seabird Island.
I will continue to enjoy the tulips in my garden for another week or so.
It's been a busy weekend.
I'll be back to tell you about it...soon.
I just can't get over the tulip pictures you and Ellen have posted - they are stunning! Those little girls are adorable and what a fun outing that must have been. My tulips haven't opened quite yet but I have hope that they soon will. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I wish I could see them in person, but since I can't, your photos are enough. What a fun outing! (I'm with Lucy, I'd wish to pick one too...)
ReplyDeleteWow!! God has an incredible color palate. What a great place for photos, some of them looked like paintings!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy I stopped by today :-)
Hugs!
I love those little girls! Maggie truly can't get enough of Emma, and Lucy is always happy to be with Grammy. Fun day, thanks mom!
ReplyDeleteThe tulips are beautiful, but the girls enjoying the fields is what made the post!
ReplyDeleteWow, so beautiful. Are the tulip bulbs harvested for commercial sale?
ReplyDeleteYes, Barb...it's all about the bulbs. So they seem to cut the flowers off while they are still looking lovely.
DeleteLove tulips so much...so aware what a short period of time they will grace gardens all over my city. They dazzle in the front yards of the humblest and grandest of home equally well
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colors as far the eye can see! The only sights more beautiful are of the little girls and their lovely Mother and Grandmother that were visiting the fields! You are fortunate to have the tulips fileds across the river form where you live, Judy.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing lines of colour, and how sweet the children look amongst them.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if we can ever say goodbye to tulips. After today's little tea, I think 'tulips' will remain forever in our minds.
ReplyDeleteLooks like one beautiful day for all of you tiptoeing through the tulips.
Oh.My.Goodness! Those colors are gorgeous...as is the picture of you and your girls! Lucy is getting so big! What a beautiful way to spend the day!
ReplyDeleteJudy, what exceptional pictures!!! I just sat here starring at each picture. The one of you, your daughter, and granddaughters is so beautiful!
ReplyDeletePlease visit my blog and see how thrilled I was today, to receive my treasured new copy of the "Celebrations" Cookbook. What a masterpiece! It far exceeds my expectations. Thanks to everyone of you most talented women, for all you put into creating such a special book. Thank you!!!
That must have been a beautiful day! One year I will get over to see those fields, but in the meantime I am enjoying my pots and beds of tulips - still thrilled with the deer fence that makes it possible to have tulips here!
ReplyDeleteWow!, that is beautiful! So glad everyone had a fun day in the tulips!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! So nice that they are so close to home...
ReplyDeleteLittle girls and tulips just go together! So beautiful. And it's extra special to see a princess. We have nothing so lovely here so I am happy to see it on your blog.

Such gorgeous flowers, row after row of color. The sweetest flowers are those little faces you showed us. Tulips are just beginning to open and drop their petals here. It's a short season, but so welcome.
