    Great photo as usual. I’m surprised this was in Holland. Isn’t that country known for cactus?

    “MARCH OF THE TULIPS” EVEN THOUGH IT’S MAY.

      Samantha – I love your comment – I changed the title to “March of the Tulips”

    I’d like to tiptoe through these tulips

I have to thank my cousin Alicia of http://www.cyclingwithoutahelmet.blogspot.com/ twice for this image. Once, because she hosted Mina and Me when we came to visit her in Leiden, Netherlands and took us on a lovely bike ride to see the tulip fields outside the idyllic canal and windmill filled town center. And thanks a second time, because she told me to try this shot with my camera after her good results of the same angle. This is a prime example of the paradigm that it can help to be flexible and take shots from new perspectives, and also that I can put away my big SLR and fit a tiny pocket camera close to the ground to get new views of the same subject.
