Layers of colors with in the front the brown of out of time hyacinth flowers. Then the light of daffodils and the red of tulips. On top the skyline of the horizon with an iconic windmill.

One of the events during Spring is the annual flower parade in the ‘bulbflowerbelt’ the Duin- en Bollenstreek. The parade has a history, it started in 1947, and is one of the biggest in The Netherlands. It is a main event for tourists. And a big presentation of bulbflower producing in this area. The Netherlands is well known for its flower production, all over the world. It is closely knit to the history and culture in this area of The Netherlands.

All the bulb flowers of Spring are now gone. We have to wait for next year to see tulips, daffodils and hyacinths ruling the fields of our flat lands. Until then we enjoy nature exploding in its full force, and after that its decline into Winter. But for now it’s amazing how fast everything springs out.

The Lens-artists challenge #197 is ‘rule of thirds’. The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb how to compose images. But a photo that creates a journey of the eye can also be made by using lines and colors. Even when the horizon is not on 1/3.

The Lens Artists Photo Challenge this week is #194: bokeh. Spring is the time for bulb flowers: daffodils, tulips, hyacinths. The garden is popping with tulips right now. And in two weeks the flower parade will take place after two years of absence. Looking forward to it, especially the smell of the flowers.

The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #147 is ‘garden’. We have a small back garden. At the moment tulips provide color to the fresh green. And tulips come in lots of types and shapes.
