tulip fields forever

[lapsedmodernist]

Yesterday I went to the Keukenhof, the huge park/botanical garden in Lisse (about half an hour from Leiden). It is tulip season in the Netherlands right now.

Between winter ice-skating and the tulip extravaganza, it's been a seasonally appropriate Dutch year so far. I am not going to swim in the canals in the summer, though, because that's gross. But some people do it.

My parents have a photo of me at about age four in a yellow rain slicker and wellies bending over to smell tulips at the very same establishment. And also a photo of ducklings in their fluffy yellowness.

In my head, the KH is the epitome of tweeee.
