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.

Thanks for posting another very enjoyable (and educational) set! Like many others who commented here, I appreciate and look forward to your very readable narratives. These enable me to enjoy vicariously the many fabulous trips you and your wife have taken. Your personal style of writing is, in itself, a pleasure.
