Lost Daffodils
From a distance it seems that the rows of bulbflowers are always perfectly consisting one color and one type of plant. However, there is always the odd one out if you look closer. Here are a few Daffodils mixed up with the Hyacinths.

Out in the fields
Hyacinths spread color and fragrance on the fields at this time of year. Remember: these flowers are not destined to be sold, but are grown for the bulbs. In June you can order the bulbs in webshops, to have them light up your garden next Spring.

Hyacinth Lines
Hyacinths spread color and fragrance on the fields at this time of year. Remember: these flowers are not the reason to grow them. The reason is in the ground: these bulbs will be harvested and then after the Summer exported to all over the world.

Just Around A Corner
Fortunately, this is really just around the corner. This time of year it is fun to take the bicycle and check out the flowers in the area. Especially when the sun shines. As most of my photos on here are taken on iPhone I do fit the brief of this week’s LAPC theme week (#391) ‘Phone photography’ easy.

Shed and Hyacinths
Time is something I sometimes can not grasp. On the one hand it is always the same: a second stays a second, a minute a minute, an hour an hour, a day a day, a week a week, a month a month. On the odd extra day every four years it is a ‘given’ that a year has 365 days. On the other hand time can slip through your hands. It seems to go faster, or slower. It is on your side or not.
This Spring is one of those moments that makes me wonder about time. There is an order in bulbflowers, but daffodils with hyacinths, while tulips pop up in the garden makes me confused. Is it going faster? But in the end the beauty and scent of flowers stays amazing.
The LAPC theme this week (#391) is ‘Phone photography’. Having a smartphone on me all of the time, with a camera that is getting better and better, is quite normal. As Tina says she rarely shoots other than with her phone. The same applies to me. The Iphone is handy, technology for dummies, always near and light. And it offers more an more quality and creativity. On the other hand it still lacks lots of technology you can find on a system camera. So I am in a hybrid state: daily the phone, on occasion the system camera. Getting on a bicycle enjoying the fields is easier with my iPhone. It produces a nice quality. It is convenient. But shooting the flower parade requires a systemcamera.But that is something for next time.
