Tulips ready to be offered.
Colorful post cards just around the corner.
Flowers in the shopping center.
The cat I am always petting on my way to the market. Love her as she is "nazli" (spoiled) just as someone I know! :P
Beautiful indigo behind my house, how could I miss that one, could I?
My favorite toy store has a truck! :P
A bush, green that is.
Blooming of trees seen upside down. :)
Close up.
Drawings on the pavement.
A windmill in Alkmaar, picture taken while I was in a bus trying all my best to keep the camera steady, you don't wanna know how bus drivers drive in here. :P

Tulips' Symphony - Pitesti

Bratianu high-school from across the street.
Bratianu High-School.
Photographing the photographer who was taking photos of flowers :P
The Art Gallery.
An interesting mix of tulips and painted rocks.
The Town Hall.
Ryan, Olive, Silviana and Cristinica.
Black tulips. Memories from my childhood. Pleasant ones.
Lil Bro playing it cool for a photo.
Ryan and Olive.
The statue of Nicolae Balcescu. We figured out because we recognized the face, as we could not understand the writing.
Tulips...Not my favorites, but I simply loved them this time.
The appeal court. Iulia (Olive) and Theo (Ryan) getting ready to take more photos.
Cris and Silviana, walking carelessly.
The County Library.
Photographing the photographer again.

Bored and sleepy. Selling pottery.
Cristinica had found a t-shirt she really wanted.
Antiques. I have no idea if genuine or not.

Artisans displaying their goods. This one is a bit bored.
Anyone need refreshing?
Waiting...
Tulips, the leading flower of the fair.
A horoscope themed fountain.
And a miniature river.
A restaurant in the shape of a boat. I've been told they have really tasty food here.
If you fell in love with the flowers, you could buy some to plant at home.
Flowers and light combined. I do love callas, especially white ones.

These flowers do indeed look like the heads of birds.

Flowers and light bulbs.
A miniature garden


And of course, roses of all colors...Just for me :)
