Continuing on, here we have more tulips.
Tulips grow here and there between other plants in this bed. Deliberate or act of squirrel gardener?
A look back at areas south of this portion of the park.
And a look over to the lake.
Here facing the lake is a sculpture, one of two by the Dutch artist Henk Visch. The Man With Two Hats has its twin in the Netherlands, and symbolizes the deep friendship between the two countries that sprang up out of the Second World War.
More tulips awaited beyond. We'll continue here tomorrow.
You have so many lovely parks and lake side places for walks. Beautiful tulips.
ReplyDeleteI have a squirrel gardener right here, and a real one, actually two, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLove the lake. And the statue, very nice. Oh, the colors.... love the tulips.
Pretty reds, and a fine sculpture.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular.
ReplyDeleteIt's tropical warm overhere these days, that's why I really like your views over the lake.
ReplyDeleteThe man with two hats is a nice symbol, I have seen it's twin in Apeldoorn.

The two-hat sculpture is an evocative representation of this enduring friendship.
ReplyDelete...I remember this well, thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI like to think the squirrels helped with that bed.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where the title would fit in. I have a niggling that you're posted of this before, but it is only a faint niggling, and I may be wrong. I certainly had no idea until I saw it at any rate.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of "The Man with Two Hats." It's a great sculpture!

Squirrels are helpful in spreading the tulips, aren't they clever. The last photo is inviting me to jump into the scene, stunning, looks like you are having glorious weather.
