Have you ever seen the tulip fields in real life? It is crazy how colors that bright come from nature, they almost seem fake.
Sorry there are so many photos. It was hard to edit them down.
Tulip Fields in Holland
After Normandy we decided to take a spur of the moment trip to Belgium and The Netherlands so that we could see the Tulip fields. Amsterdam is only a five hour drive from Paris, so it was an easy and quick trip. When we decided to move to Paris I made a list of “bucket list” of things I wanted to do while we were here. And seeing the tulip fields in Holland was near the top of the list. Our schedules have been busy during the small window that the tulips are in bloom so we thought we were going to have to miss them. I’m so happy we made it happen. The colors were so vibrant and it was one of my favorite days of this whole trip.

ReplyDeleteso amazingly lovely! One of my springtime dreams!
ReplyDeleteThis is on my list, too. How absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's stunning! I can't believe that you're able to walk right into the rows of tulips.
ReplyDeletegorgeous photos! what an experience!
ReplyDeleteMakes "Welcome to Holland" take on a whole new meaning. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking... love it when places exceed already high expectations. You'll probably never look at a tulip the same way again.
ReplyDeleteRoman is getting so big!
WOW!! that is simply stunning!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those pictures are truly breathtaking! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I love your photographs - I can see why ot was hard to edit them, the colours are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOn an un-tulip related note, I do like your skirt - it looks perfect.
It looks like you were up in my neck of the woods...and you chose the perfect time to come: another week and they might have been a bit past their peak! Wonderful pictures!

ReplyDeleteThe tulip fields are definitely on my list... the colours are so incredible. I'm so excited for you that you got to go while they were in full bloom. Thanks for sharing your pictures - so pretty!!
ReplyDelete(I was dreaming about these just last month:
http://bee-and-you.blogspot.com/2011/03/blooms.html)
One of my cousins (also a painter) just moved to the Netherlands and scored seasonal work in the tulip fields. I told her I want her to start painting them, asap! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes we've visited often (we live here right now). Aren't they fabulous. Loved the colourful stripes. Great photographs.
ReplyDeleteahhhhhhh! I can't think of anything else to say! ahhhhh!
ReplyDeleteamazing! Those colours are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Jordan!! We went to see the tulips last week -- amazing! xxx
ReplyDeleteHow amazing and gorgeous!!!!!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous! thank you for sharing so many photos!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! I wonder- do they grow them just for the sale of the bulbs? It appears obviously not to sell as blooming plants or else they would "harvest" before they bloom. Curious minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteholy gorgeous! stunning photos. so jealous!
ReplyDeleteYou should seriously host a dinner party there:) I was dreaming about them today, and you got to see the real thing. How fabulous!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing. i'll dream of seeing them until i die. never too many photos of tulips
ReplyDeleteOooooooohh! I have always wanted to go there....sooo lovely! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Heather
I want to go to there.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe that's real!
ReplyDeletewow. wow wow wow. So much color. I just added somewhere new to my places I dream about list.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah: There are never enough photos of tuplips! In fact, my desktop background is a picture of tulip fields that you posted way back when. It's jus tperfect for spring! I'm jealous you got to see the real thing - I had no idea you could visit them. Neato!
ReplyDeletebeautiful family photos, jordan!
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING!
ReplyDeletepretty place! I love tulips!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Thanks so much for sharing so many pictures- I could have looked at 50 more!
ReplyDeleteHoly Smokes I'M JEALOUS!! So so lovely. I hope I make it there some day!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning! I dream of seeing the tulip fields in Holland one day. Paul's red hair with those orange/red tulips looks cute.
ReplyDeleteYes I absolutely loved visiting the tulip fields when we lived in Amsterdam. Keukenhof is a magical place, not to mention the most photographed place in the world! It's easy to see why, isn't it? Glad you made it there, since the fields are blooming for such a short window of time. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! Love your outfit too! I'd love to see these some day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Tulips are one of my favorite flowers, so there's no such thing as too many pictures!
ReplyDeletegorgeous gorgeous! i like so many others have this on my things to do in life!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! That is phenomenally beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Your pictures are so brilliant! I actually just took a trip to the only other tulip fields last weekend in Washington state. Absolutely breathtaking.. of course, it wasn't Europe ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have been to the tulip fields outside of Seattle and they're pretty dreamy too. Totally worth checking out if you're in the NW.
that place is totally my dream. beautiful colors, and i loved all the photos!
ReplyDelete-angela
Happy you shared them all! Tulips are one of my favorite flowers, thanks for posting these beautiful pictures :)

Its a stunning sight and I'm so glad you got to see it!
Nature is incredible. Thanks for capturing and sharing such beauty. And I love your blue skirt!
ReplyDeleteWOW. That's amazing. This is going on my bucket list too. I'll bring antihistamines just in case though! (I can already feel the sneezing)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these photos!!! Tulips are my thing and seeing them in this manner just moves me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope to one day go to Holland again when they are blooming!!!

Amazing. Well worth the detour.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. You have just given me a new travel destination for my bucket list! :)
ReplyDelete~Tiffany
Beautiful family in beautiful fields of flowers, very gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are BREATHTAKING!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful in person as well! If you have some time, I highly recommend heading over to Switzerland. Geneva, Zurich, Bern everything is beautiful. BUT if you're there around Ash Wednesday next year...Fasnacht is a HUGE carnival in Basel every year, and the city of Basel is an amazing Swiss city right on the border with Germany and France. I highly recommend a trip out to my old stomping grounds in Rheinfelden...just so much history and beauty. If you go, you must get Leckerli. Everyone gets Swiss chocolate, which is delicious, but Leckerli is the Swiss cookie...so tasty!!
ReplyDeleteI would also recommend absolutely anywhere in Greece.
It doesn't seem possible to get better than this!
ReplyDeleteWow! Really.
ReplyDeleteAltough I'm from Holland I also think it's still so special. Last weekend the boyfriend and I jumped on our bikes and biked trough the countryside. I made a post about it: http://vera-elisabeth.blogspot.com/2011/04/tulips-lots-and-lots-of-tulips.html
ReplyDeleteJordan I am so glad you didn't edit your photos down!
ReplyDeletewow what a visual feast. It must have been heaven to be amongst all those beautiful flowers.
My family lives in Holland and I went to see them over the Easter holiday - the tulip fields are some of the first things you see from the air flying in, it's so pretty!
ReplyDeletethis looks absolutely amazing. I'm so glad you made it there during your busy month!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! This is officially on my bucket list, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pictures, Gorgeous Flowers.Very luck of you to get to see it.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful! Just added to my bucket list
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking!
ReplyDeleteCame across this site from designmom...these are beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe solitude in that field makes the images even more impressive. Did you feel like you were the only people in the world, standing in the huge field of tulips?

ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievable! So beautiful! I know what you mean about a landscape having such bright colors that it looks fake. I felt that way when I was in Switzerland during Autumn. In Lucerne, the grass was bright green, the mountains were capped with perfectly white snow, the lake was perfectly blue, the trees were bright orange and red - everything was so vibrant, it was hard to believe it was real.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. I love tulips. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me happy ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, I´M GLAD YOU POSTED THEM ALL!
ReplyDeleteKind regards from Argentina.
