Hi Claudia! This is a wonderful album. I love tuplis and I thank you for their magnificent captures, both in close up and in colorful medleys. I also enjoyed the pastoral green sceneries. Well done. Thank you so very much for you warm words on my Jerusalem album. All the best, Orly

Hi Claudia, Thanks so much for your visit to my feature today. Your support and friendship mean a lot to me. I see spring has arrived at your place and I am just now getting around to visiting. Sorry it has taken me so long to get here. This was great, I always enjoy seeing the statues and the tulips. I wish that I could smell the lilac's, that is the best part of spring for me. I also liked the picture of the bridge. Thanks again Claudia, Hugs, Cynthia

<font color="#000090" > Hi Claudia, I love these flowers. I think spring is such a wonderful time of the year up north. It’s like the flowers know that they don’t have much time to compete for bees and try their best to out-show each other. The flowers are beautiful, but my favorite shot has to be your Red-Winged Blackbird. This a frat shot! I have tried for years to get a good image of one, but haven’t had much luck. <font color="#b00000" > Greetings from Florida, Paul. <font color="#000090" > P.S. Thank you for your kind words on my Tai Shan album. He certainly puts on a good show rain or shine. It is worth a visit to the zoo just to see him. He is as endearing an animal as I have ever seen! </font>

G'day Claudia and thank you for such a colourful reminder as we are going into winter in this part of the world, that Spring brings so much colour and beauty. Cheers, Lorraine - Australia

Hi Claudia, we are so lucky that you visited this festival of tulips. I enjoyed watching your pictures of these beautiful flowers and this beautiful garden. I'm sure you had a great time visiting there, I know I had a great time visiting here. Thanks for visiting my Urban Reflections album. I'm glad you like it. The pyramids that you noticed in many pictures are located on the roof of a mall which is located just near 2 skyscrapers that are reflected to the pyramids. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, Yair.

Good Morning Claudia. I had to first go read the article that Judy spoke about. You are quite the "lady." Very impressive. I printed the article so I can go visit your website when I return from California on Monday. This is a great album by the way. I love all your images. Keep up the great work. Best wishes from Oregon, Lynn

Hi Claudia! Can't believe I'm here so late! The Tulip Festival looks like it was gorgeous! We were tempted to come out, but with the weather forecast, we figured it would be a wasted trip! Boy, were we wrong!! Great pictures my friend! Take care...hugs galore...Dar

Dear Claudia, the weather does not seem to have been too sunny, but I bet you had a good time there with the flowers. As I have already said in the comments to some of the photos, a lovely place to be! Friendly regards from Gabriela

Dear Claudia, This tulip festival is very beautiful! I loved those lavender tulips and the green green grass and all the other lovely shots, in this album. Thanks for sharing your spring with us. Hugs, Candy

Dear Claudia! Beautiful garden, beautiful flowers, beautiful mansion ... a dream for me! But definitely, congratulations to you for this beautiful album for your beautiful visit to such an attractive place! All the Best! CS

said csfoto 2006.05.15 at 08:47:02 PDT

Hi Claudia and it was great to see your nice words in my Day Trip album - thanks for that! But what beautiful shots you have got here! It makes the tulip display place south of Perth look pretty sick by comparison! Where we live (60kms NORTH of Perth) tulips don't grow too well, possibly due to our very sandy soil. Daffs we can do, but nowhere near as nice as these of yours. This is what I call a NICE album, easy to look at and a feeling of disappointment when you reach the last photo. Goodonya! Hugs, Peter

Dear Claudia, Wow this must be a wonderful place to visit I like all the pictures but your cover shot is superb. Thank you so much for your visits to my albums today I'm glad you enjoyed them. Take care now my friend Love and hugs Jill

Happy Anniversary, Claudia - know it's something this month and 34 years is nothing to 'sneeze at', especially these days! I wish you a healthy and happy year ahead! ... Bug hugs, Judy

Hi claudia, What a lovely garden in your hme town, simply superb, Spring is such a wonderful time of the year when all of natures blooms and renews, it just does not renew me though that is the shame, Do take care and thanks for the GB, hugs Ken xx

said hircock100 2006.05.14 at 01:42:59 PDT

Claudia your tulip album is so beautiful. Great photos all! The black tulips so interesting. I will have to find some for my little Tulip garden I have in my frontyard. I am thinking you saw my tulip garden album already, if not it is in Nannygoose. I added a few new albums in fact there also. I have been so busy in my many gardens at this time doing spring clean up and moving plants around like always. I also been planting new perennials, seems a never ending job. Every year I think that's it I don't need anymore flowers! But still it never fails each spring you will find me back at the nursery's for more. Thanks for your visits to my two sites dear friend. Hugs, Laura

Hi Claudia! I just saw the Tulip Festival in Albany, NY, being discussed on the Weather Channel this morning and thought how much I'd enjoy seeing that. Now I've seen it through your slideshow and it's beautiful! Great album. Lots of hugs, Sharon

<font color="navy"> Spring has certainly 'sprung' in upstate New York and even without the sunshine, your flowers are gorgeous. I especially love #s 27 & 38! Thanks ...... </font><br> <center><font color="red"> Judy aka L@dybug, Florida </font></center>
