Alphabe Thursday.

Alphabe Thursday is hosted by Ms Jenny Matlock. This week we study the letter K.

 

Today my letter K goes for KEUKENHOF. It is the largest flower garden in the world and famous for its spring bulb displays.There are over 7 million flower bulbs planted anually.  Also in the park are  about 150 sculptures   made by local and foreign artists.

We visited the Keukenhof last year and the year before last. The first time we went in March and these photo’s were taken then. There were not so many flowers like tulips out in the gardens as it was still cold. So most of my photo’s here I took in the glass houses, like the orchids and the hyacinths amongst many other sorts. And of course there were tulips and daffodils inside  too.

If ever you can visit Holland come in spring so you can see the Keukenhof. It is something you will never forget. I am definitely going again this year.

Delfshaven is a wonderful  part of  Rotterdam with the most beautiful old houses and buildings.

The photo’s  speak for themselves , just have a look and enjoy.

Between the photo’s is only a few seconds. First I saw this sky so I made photo´s and then 10 minutes later the sky was even more beautiful. So more photo´s.
Here they are.







10 minutes later I saw this, the sky was pink  and black.

Alphabe Thursday.

This week we had to study the letter J for Ms Matlocks class. http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/

It was a very difficult letter, not Joking.  Difficult Job.  But I found a few photo’s to go with these J words. Like Jumbo, or Jam or Just a couple, maybe their names are Jack and Jill or maybe Jenny and Jayson.  Who knows.


There were also these words like Jag or Jelly or Journey or Joint.

It is a real Joy Joining Alphabe Thursday hosted by Jenny Matlock. http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/

Alphabe Thursday.

This week we study the letter I for Ms Matlocks class.
I found many words but the first word that came to my mind was Internet. What would we do without It. No blogging, no friends all over the world, a most boring life possibly. Can't Imagine how that would be.

As I said I found many words but I used only a few to go with my collage.
How about Impression,  just walls left of what used to be a beautiful home.
And most certainly many Interesting books in this beautiful library.
Through that door you go Inside the mansion.
Beautiful flowers here and Included I found the lovely Impatiens.
And how about this Incredible diningroom. I try to Imagine how people Invited friends for dinner Inside their beautiful home.Sorry to say I don't know the Indentity of the people on the paintings.
Just used my Imagination .

Now that Is It for this week.

Outdoor Wednesday.

Susan the host  from A Southern daydreamer, http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ asked for outside and inside decoration photo's on our blogs.

I like to start with an outside photo which I took exactly one year ago. I know because it was our 50th weddinganniversary and tomorrow (Wednesday the 21st) it will be our 51th. There was a lot of snow in December last year . No snow this year, just rain and not so cold. I don't really mind.:)))

It says Happy Holidays and a prosperous 2012.


Now for the inside decorations I made a collage of some photo's I made in my home these last few days.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY.
