David's Images of the Day Photoblog
There were three young fawns with spots in my backyard. Two of the fawns were very rambunctious running after each other as their mothers stayed still and watched. The new bird for the day at the bird feeder was a Hairy Woodpecker. A variety of Lily flowers have been blooming in my neighbor’s yard. The ones I planted last year didn’t make it being taken over by the “mile-a-minute” vine. Individual images from the slide-shows can be viewed here.
The M/V Explorer arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands early in the morning. I signed up for the field trip to the Tulip festival at Keukenhof Tulip Gardens in nearby Lisse with my parents. The Tulip festival at Keukenhof gardens is only open for a short time every spring, and this was one of the last days. When we arrived there already were many tourist buses in the parking lot. The sky was grey with some off and on light rain. The flower gardens were beautiful, although there were a few “ugly tourists” that walked right into the flower gardens. There was also a wedding party where the photographer had the full entourage stand in the middle of a patch of tulips. I don’t know how many flowers got trampled.

Field Trip to Keukenhof Tulip Gardens. We were lucky as this was the last day of the season that the gardens were open. We got there early and there were already many bus loads of tourists that arrived before us. The gardens are large enough that it was not too crowded once we got inside. I will have to say that there were some “ugly tourists” that walked right into the flower gardens. There was also an Indian wedding party where the photographer had the full entourage stand in the middle of a patch of tulips. I don’t know how many flowers got trampled. ARRG!!!
