Due to the Covid-19 (Corona) pandemic, the people in my country had to deal with restrictive measures, like everywhere in the world. Because of my Lyme-disease history and my age, I was strongly advised not to go outdoors e.g. for a photo shoot. Our government took a few days ago the decision that some of the restrictive measures will be weakened per June, 1st. But after that we realized that it was a preliminary decision because they have to be approved by the outbreak team (a panel consisting of virologists and epidemiologists). This will be done one week before the 1st of June. Till June, 1st I'll provide you with some photographs from the 'bin'.

This one is taken in the spring of a couple of years ago in the Keukenhof, one of the world's largest flower garden, situated near the town of Lisse in The Netherlands.

Because of the pandemic, it's closed now and it won't be open this year.

Oh my Mr. C. this is beautiful, such a colorful post, I sure enjoy your tulip pictures, as I never see anything like this around here. I do hope you will be able to return to a more normal way come June, but yet stay safe, and healthy. tigs=^..^=

The only shot that would have had a chance of beating you in the Spring Contest would have been this one SEA.
Beautiful full screen colors.
