I want a hug too....


I want a hug too...
Came across this stature in the Keukenhof Garden, Netherlands. Couldn't resist the temptation to take a snap and give the couple a hug...as It was too cold...(I really needed a cuddle, better still from a real chap's :P)

Keukenhof, situated in Lisse, Netherlands, also known as the Garden of Europe, is the world's largest flower garden. Keukenhof is open from the last week of March to mid-May. I went there at the beginning of April this year. Not an ideal time to visit , as most of the flower bulbs were still not opened yet....The best time to view the tulips is around mid-April, depending on the weather.
The flower garden was the idea in 1949 by the then-mayor of Lisse, a small town south of Amsterdam. The idea was to have a flower exhibit where growers from all over the Netherlands and Europe could show off their hybrids. Keukenhof has been the world's largest flower garden that runs throughout spring for over fifty years. It is located between the towns of Hillegom and Lisse, south of Haarlem in South Holland, southwest of Amsterdam, and is accessible by bus and rail.
