Tulipfields

A few of the tulipfields from the archives of 2018.

Clouds

A lot of clouds on the go to the tulip fields in the North-East polder.

With some dark ones too.

Tulip fields

The tulip field in the North-East Polder bloom again.

So we made a ride along the fields.

Endless fields in different colours amazes me every year again.

Unfortunately we had chosen the wrong day, when I was lying on my knees to make this masterpiece suddenly a downpour came along and soaked me before I could reach the car.

You can see the sky we left behind when leaving the polder over the bridge.

Countrylife

A strawberry at a tree was a sign in the Noord-oostpolder (North-East Polder) that the farmer had some products for sale. You can see the sale in the background marked with a flag.

And these were the products, onions, potatoes, eggs and bottled applejuice. There was a price-list and you could put the money in the green box. The confidence in the countryside.

On the road

On the road through the Flevopolder with many wind turbines and a blue sky.

The farmlands in the Noordoostpolder.

Farmlife

A farmstead in the Noordoostpolder next to the tulipfields. Most farms have a modern house nowadays with a barn next or behind.  I am a born city girl but loved this pretty romantic scene with trees, blossoms and the green, green grass.

Look at this. 

And than you have this purple treasure next door!

Drone

A drone circling above the tulipfields, that is the newest item you can see nowadays. It was strange to see and I had no idea where it came from. It looked like something from outerspace was watching us.

Until I noticed this man on the road with an ipad who happened to be the owner. Here he has just leaded the drone down and had it landed in the grass.

Signs, signs

After visiting the tulipfiels we like to go to this place  "De Wipkip" a bit difficult to translate in English,  "kip" means chicken and "wip" a seesaw. So a "seesaw chicken"? You tell me.

Anyway they have a very nice tea with applepie with and a sunny terrace, so we got a spring feeling at last.

Tulip fields

Arriving last weekend at the tulipfields in the Noordoostpolder we feared we were too late, it seemed everything had gone already.

But fortunately we found a field full of different coloured tulips.

The red ones.

A yellow and red mix.

I liked these purple ones very much.

Have a look at hubby's blog "sccollections" for more tulips.

Monday Mural

Riding through the Noordoostpolder (North East Polder), we drove right into this surprising mural. Before turning to the left, I grabbed my camera and was just in time to make a picture. I think it is a nice composition in blue, with the sky, the road signs and the mural.

Unexpected meeting

When visiting the tulip fields last weekend these horses and wagons passed from the other side. While I  photographed them I was filmed at the same time by the local televison.

And was greeted friendly.

Holding an ipad in his hand?

It was a narrow road and the cars had to wait aside the road. I rather attracted attention again.

Tulipfields reprise

Two weeks ago we didn't see much blooming tulips yet,  but yesterday we returned to the tulipfields in the North-East polder and it was magnificent. 

Tulips as far as you can see until the horizon.

At hubby's blog "sccollections" you can see more tulips.

On the road

Yesterday we were on the way to the tulip fields in the North East polder with endless wind turbines on the dike. I don't drive so I can make photos of the ride.

Sometimes the road raises up and changes into a bridge.

Passing farmlands with cows in the open air after a winter staying in stables.

A farmer busy ploughing the land.

Huh? Don't know what the Eiffel tower is doing here.

It seems we are to early at the tulip fields, not much blooming yet.

A bit colour at last.

Well this is red isn't it?
