Located about 20 miles (30 km) South West of Amsterdam, near Lisse (down the A4, turn
right somewhere past Schiphol) there's these beautiful flower gardens with lakes,
fountains and a windmill.
There's nothing much I can say about most of the photos...you just need to look at them
and it says everything that needs to be said!
These are especially for my grand-daughter Evie who appreciates pretty things like flowers.
Yes, I know I'm sexist, flowers for the girls and trains/cranes for the boys...
but Evie will stop to look at the flowers where the boys would stamp them into the ground
as they rush forward for a better view of a JCB digging a hole in the ground!
It's just the way it is...

There's this orchid house with beautiful flowers...but when I saw these I thought of ZZ Tops for some reason...
Here's a view from the top of the windmill...yes, I was allowed up there, it's open to the public.
You can walk out into the lake on the stepping stones but it looks risky to me. The swans look a bit vicious!
I'm not sure what the 'blob' is supposed to be...it looks like someone's dropped a giant ice-cream!
