Keukenhof 1977 (1)

The Keukenhof is a huge flower garden in Holland, with the most impressive display of flowers that I've ever seen. Here's the first of a couple of slides from 1977 that I've scanned.
If you're in the area this time of year it's a must-see. And it's my entry for Vintage Weekly and Floral Friday.

My life continues to be extremely busy as we're packing up for a possibly move, so my blogging will continue to be very inconsistent for a while.

    What lovely memories, Al!! I visited Keukenhof one spring while I was living in Germany and what an incredibly beautiful place it is! I hope all is going well with your move! Look forward to seeing more of your photos when you have time! Take care.

    What a lovely view Al. Spent lots of time from airport to where I needed to go or road right through to Germany. Never really spent quality time in the Netherlands... used to make the most of the bulb sellers in Amsterdam though :-) xxx
