A Carpet of Color

By Linda Tancs

American painter Georgia O’Keeffe once remarked, “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.” Well, if colors could speak then there’d be a torrent of conversation taking place now through May at Keukenhof Gardens, a kaleidoscope of tulips and other flowering bulbs in the Netherlands near Amsterdam. Now in its 60th year, they say it’s the most photographed spot in the world. And why shouldn’t it be, with 7 million bulbs swaying in the breeze. Gives new meaning to the expression, ‘spring is busting out all over.’
