  • Hi Marjie, I was just browsing throughyour albums and came across the tulips and blue bells and I knew it was the same Tulip farm I visited last spring. You have some really great shots. It is a small world indeed. Take care, Beth

  • I have tears in my eyes - you mentioned last month in my Pot Shots album (holding on) photo about your Dad jingling his coins in his pocket - yes, I remember mine doing that also when I was little - we were so fortunate to have our Pop's in our lives for so long - I'm so sorry for not getting back to you as my G/B e-mails were not coming to me after I changed my e-address....having that hot air balloon featured yesterday I'm now seeing all those that had visited....Anyway, thank you so much for taking a peek at my album and taking the time to leave a message. Loree

  • Hi Marjie, Beautiful collection! Tulips are beautiful enough and certainly these are prime proof of that, but in addition to their looks, they come to us at a time when we are desperate for their brilliant colors and renewed signs that another cold and dreary winter is behind us. Greetings from south Florida where, unfortunately, tulips don't stand a chance, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your many and generous notes on several of my albums. Unfortunately, events have conspired to keep me from getting back to you sooner and have put me way behind on my e-mail.

  • Hi Marjie, I'm dreaming of a beautiful spring, thanks to this gorgeous album!!! (I wish we had the rain to really produce one this year!) Thank you so much for the comment on my "Tail of Two Puppies" album. They really do bring so much joy! Every day is an adventure!!! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and all of the love and prayers that have been sent our way! Blessings, Lynn

  • 'Ladylike' is something new to me, in connection to tulips. What I do no like in tulips is that they (at least in our climate) open their flowers fully. I know a lot of people who hate tulips to open their flowers, but I don't. Have you read 'Special Topics in Calamity Physics' by Marisha Pessl. This week I bought and saw the dvd of Gone with the wind, which I had seen for the last time in 1955... So now for the rest of you pics.

  • Hi Marjie, What a beautiful album and as you said it makes a gorgeous presentation on slideshow. Your captures are stunningly beautiful and I am so pleased you sent me the invitation to view the beauty that lies within. I can understand your longing for spring and also your concern for the tulips. I pray that they will be all right and suffer no damage, it would be so sad if damage befell these exceptional flowers. Hugs Leslie

  • Hello (again) Marjie. I was going to ask why the weather was so changeable but I have since noticed that you have made several visits to this tulip festival. I'm not surprised either with sights like you've captured in this album. Awesome is all I can say. I have always wanted to visit the tulip fields in Holland. Maybe I'll get there one day. After this taste as to how they must look, I really ought to make the effort. Thank you for all your most generous comments about our flowers in our garden. You are very kind. Hugs, Jayne xx

  • Margie, WOW! I wanted to add something to almost every photo because this album is so beautiful! but thought I better stop with the photo comments or you might think you got featured with all the emails...lol This is an exeptional album and right on top when it comes to the many Tulip garden albums here in Webshots. Hugs, Laura

  • Hey There Marjie. Love you collection of Tulips. Wonderful vibrant colors. Looks like we may have spent the same days out at skagit valley this year (spring was a bit wet in tulip town & roozengaarden)! >=) Thanks for the bright colored picture show I enjoyed my tour. All the Best, J.A.McGraw - Please accept my invitation to drop by and check out some of my galleries.

  • Marjie; it's a great pleasure to me to visit your site cause I see many beautiful albums here. This one is absolutely very attractive to view. You've captured the beauty of this Tulip festival so well. I've enjoyed it a lot. Thank you very much for your visit to my featured album last monday and all your kind words. I'm happy that you also viewed my album of the Keukenhof. Thank you for paying so much attention; it made my day. Greetings and best wishes from Holland, Els

  • Dear Marjie, I have thoroughly enjoyed looking through this album. All the photographs are so colourful. I once visited a similar place in Victoria and I remember how beautiful it was. Thank for all your comments on my albums and photographs. I really appreciate them. I am looking forward to viewing more of your albums. Best wishes, Judith.

  • Thank you so much for the lovely message you left in my Guestbook!!! I have been a member of WS for several years, but I am very new at posting my photos on the site so your encouragement is very much appreciated! Your photographs are absolutely amazing! I could learn so much from you. How long have you been taking photos? Hopefully, one day, I will be as good as your are. Thanks for your incredible talent and sweet spirit!

  • Hi Marjorie!! Nice album!! Photo 18 shoes a variety tulips is called princes Irene; she is the sister of Queen Beatrix. The only really beautiful princess we had... See Google pictures.... The blue ones are muscari's. Here spring was awfully late (about one month) and then all flowerbulbs flowered more or less at the same time; making for a gorgeous Keukenhof. It is all over know... Whenever you come to visit the keukenhof around april 23 or so (best time!) ; do let me know; I will show you around... Experimenting with the setting may be fun, but also may mean disaster. If you want to start experimenting; start with AV (aperture...) if you do close-ups.. You can learn to influence the DOF; blurriness or not of the background. have a lot of fun!.. Greetz Anna

  • Hallo Marjie, Thank you for the kind comments you left in my questbook. Although the geese story has been viewed 1099 times, people not always take the afford to leave a message. The album about South Africa has been viewed almost 3000 times :) and lots of downloads. As I am a member of Flickr.com also and a lot of time goes into this site, I haven't had much time to upload photo's to webshot anymore:) Your album about the tulips are great. I will visit the Keukenhof next week. This is the biggest outdoor bulb show in Europe. Maastricht is a lovely place (lived there just after the war till 1949). Hope you will be able to visit it soon:) Greetings from Holland. Rita

  • Hi Marjie, I loved your photos of tulips and am jealous that you had the better weather (cloudy) for the perspective photography. In Utah we are blessed with too much sun and when the gardens do not open until 10am one is forced to do close-up shots with someone holding a diffuser. By the way the name you are trying to remember is Andre' Rieu and the venue in Piazza della Repubblica in Cortona is probably is smallest that he has ever played in! Best regards, Terry SLC, Utah

  • Hi Marjie It's great to see your beautiful tulips, it's fall here so all we are seeing is falling leaves. I enjoyed your albums my husband comes from Washington State and I am always fascinated to see how different the houses are......Sandra from Australia

  • Hi Marjie, Great album, as are all your albums. I've been hovering over my small garden looking for something new every day. I'm planning to visit an arboretum soon, but I think it's still too early. Few more days, and we will have an "orgy of colors" around. :)) Can't wait. Thank you for your nice comment in "about us". Same to you. Best, Roza

  • WOW..These photos are most beautiful, we have still cold nights, but the tulips are not far away. And Yes - it is sister-city. We learn about Seattle at school, but it is some years ago now. In one of the parks in Bergen is a big, I am not sure about the name, totempel ?? It is a big wooden sculpture, a gift from Seattle, I belive in 1970 when Bergen celebrated 900 years jubilee. I have to got a photo of this sculpture. Have a nice day. Your friend EVA
