With Two Hats

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.

  9. I 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.
