FOUNTAIN GARDEN

In the Enid A. Haupt Garden near the entrance to the National Museum of African Art in Washington D.C. is the Fountain Garden. Modeled after the Court of the Lions at Alhambra, the 13th-century Moorish palace and fortress in Granada, Spain, it is geometrically symmetrical and as with most Islamic gardens, includes a central fountain. A veil of cascading water streams down the back stone wall.

BRUGGE FLOWER SHOP

Why is it that Europe has the most enchanting shops with the most photographic store fronts? I came across this flower shop during my visit to Brugge. I just love all the colorful hanging baskets and the wrought-iron flowers stands.

MONET'S GARDEN

Just an hour's train ride from Paris is Giverny, the small idyllic town where Claude Monet lived and painted. A visitor can walk through his home, studio and the magnificent gardens. My visit was in May, 2006 when the gardens and especially the irises were in full bloom.

DUTCH TULIPS

For 8 weeks every Spring, from mid-March to mid-May, an area known as the Bollenstreek, a triangle-shaped area stretching between Haarlem, The Hague and Leiden, is aglow with glorious colors. Everyone knows the Netherlands is famous for growing tulips. We've all seen pictures of the fields in brilliant color--rows and rows of brilliant reds, pinks and yellows. The fertile sandy soil plus the climate in this area make a perfect for the flowering bulbs to thrive.

In the middle of the Bollenstreek sits the Keukenhof Gardens. Every year over 7,000,000 flower bulbs (yes, SEVEN MILLION!) are planted each year. Every year the gardens are designed differently from the previous year; it takes 30 gardeners to plant the millions of bulbs each year. But seeing these fields yourself is a memorable experience.

This is one of my favorite photos taken during my visit to the Keukenhof Gardens in 2010. original photo:
