So much snow, snow, snow.  We are ready for it to go!  In the photographs below you can see the beautiful flower fields in the Netherlands.  From far above the land and on the ground the Dutch grow the most breathtaking flowers ever seen.

The flower fields are so bright and vibrant they don't even look real! There were so many patterns to see bright colors and types of flowers.  The pictures are just a sample of what we looked at.  Flower Garden Park From high above
