Outdoor and Watery Wednesday

Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan from a Southern Daydreamer and Watery Wednesday at WWW.Waterywednesday.blogspot.com . These two memes I love to participate in.
Today I have a few more photo´s from the Keukenhof, this time some of the art that is shown in the park.There are two pictures in this mosaic that show some so called Russion dolls. This year the idea for the show is `From Russia with Love` You know those Russian dolls that has a tiny doll in the middle and gets bigger every time with a bigger doll around it. Oh dear I hope I explained this ok, it is a bit difficult in a foreign language.

Mosaic and Blue Monday

Today I am participating in Mosaic Monday, hosted by Mary from The little red House and Blue Monday hosted by Sally from Smiling Sally at Smilingsally.blogspot.com
Today I made three blue mosaics and I will tell you why. Last week we went to visit the Royal Delft Factory "Porceleijne Fles" This must be something for our Blue Monday fans. This is so beautiful. And remember everything is handpainted.
In my first mosaic I just some of their beautiful pots, the second shows what they can do with tiles and the third shows some pictures of the factory, a studio where they show how things are made and two pictures of outside on a little parking lot. they even painted the wall and the garbage container. I have a few more pictures I will show later this week.
There is still time to enter my give-away. The link is on the sidebar.
Please click photo's to enlarge.
 


 


 
Hope you enjoy.

Pink Saturday

Another Pink Saturday again. Doesn't time fly. This weekly meme is hosted by the gracious Beverly from How Sweet the Sound. A few days ago we visited "Keukenhof" the most beautiful spring garden in the world" I made many, many pictures and for the first couple of days I will be showing some of them. I picked some with pink for today. Notice that all these beautiful flowers are grown inside . The park is full with still growing tulips and narcissus amongst other flowers but they are not in full bloom yet. That will take a few more weeks and then I would love to go again to see all that. It must be fantastic.

 

 

The hyacinths and tulips on these photo's are in grown in pots probably inside.
