Take a big deep breath and think about the aroma from lots of tulips. Perhaps you’re thinking…but tulips don’t really have much of a fragrance! True, but…did I happen to mention 15,000 tulips? Yes, it’s that time of year again for the annual tulip festival at the West Side Community Garden. Beautiful, warm, overcast day…picture perfect for photography and that aroma! Pure heaven!
Tomorrow I head for the farm and by the time I return all of these lovelies will be gone, but quickly followed by irises, bleeding hearts and more peonies. It’s one huge candyland with a never ending supply of beauty all summer long!
This week be looking for a couple of updates…one, my discoveries of some very unique community gardens in the East Village AND two, my adventure to Philly to photograph in the Eastern State Penitentiary! Plus I’m starting a new course this week about becoming best friends…with…guess who? MYSELF! Combined with photography, we’ll be honoring our memories, seeing our own beauty, thinking about our hidden dreams, and seeing where we are in the world. Susannah Conway promises eight weeks of unravelling (and who doesn’t need a bit of unravelling once in a while?) and it would be my pleasure if you’d follow along with me!

I am so looking forward to the new becoming best friends course. I will be there front and center!! Safe travels to the farm frissy. Love, hugs & MORE!!! GH
Thank you! I know I can always count on my frister! xoxo
Your West Side Community Garden reminds me of Holland’s Keukehof Gardens in full swing now for another month. There it’s more than 7 million tulips, which is really hard to believe, but true. But whether few or many, tulips really are such a sight for the eyes. I’m glad your garden continues on with other flowers throughout the summer.
Happy days at the farm again, with travel mercies. And 8 weeks of becoming best friends with yourself! I’d love to be a fly on the wall!
Oh my…7 million tulips! Incredible! I love seeing photos of the tulips in Holland and perhaps one day I’ll see them up close and personal! Hugs across the big pond!
The second image is our county flower it’s called Kungsängslilja in Swedish. Must have been a great day.
Oh Frida, I love that flower. So delicate!
It is truly is a candyland. Tulips are my favorite!!! So looking forward to hearing more about the “best friends” course. I could use a few tips.
LOVE YOU!
I didn’t know tulips were your favorite!! We learn every day, don’t we! xoxo MORE!
