This garden, located in Golden Gate Park, was a gift to San Francisco by the queen of the Netherlands over 100 years ago. Dutch bulb growers continue to supply tulip and other spring- flowering bulbs. The area itself is a little gem, easily accessible to people of all ages and abilities. In March it bursts into floral life and teems with visitors.
These photos were made on a recent Sunday, one of the first glorious weekends of the year. As you see I was hardly the only photo-taker in this mass of folks out to see and to be seen, to enjoy life , beauty and each other.

The flowers are beautiful. I saw only the one real camera.
I love tulips, thanks for sharing.
