Wow. I'll really have to make it to Chicago in Spring one year. Gosh it's beautiful. Thank you :)
Oh Wow! They're so beautiful!
cool shots Dean! I love that one where all the tulips are leaning. Also neat to see the (angel?) statue and the tulips behind it.
Beautiful pictures!!

Early-mid April is the perfect time to visit! The weather is still mild and the tourists haven't overtaken the city yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ekan!
Aren't they though?

Mona!
The statue is of a wood nymph. During the summer, flowering vines climb up her base and overtake her torso! So cool!
Here's an older blogpost where I sketched the statue and talk more about it:

WoW!!!!! So Gorgeous!!!
Beautiful Dean, Tulips have faded in DC weeks ago now, even the azaleas are heading into memory....and it's not even May. Climate change? Duh!
Wow! Beautiful! A sea of tulips right in the city--what a sight!
gorgeous! It's like you're in the Netherlands almost.
I half expect to see a windmill. :)
Beautiful! I must stop by the city sometime soon!
bK!
It's that time of year!
