i can never ignore purple... when im in a shop, i automatically pick out the purple clothes, socks, bags... anything! so i defenitely didnt miss this purple field when biking past it. but we had to go back another time, with camera, to get some pictures. we havent had much of a winter here in the netherlands. and no snow. buuuhh (so i was very jealous to see the snow in boston!). it even has been unseasonably warm at times, and so i read these crocuses are out a month early...
i took this picture last weekend. while having breakfast, the sun was shining like crazy. behind glass it seemed like a wonderful day that needed to be spent outside. so we got our bikes and as soon as we were out, i wanted to go back inside. it was cold!!! so we did just a short bike tour around our neighborhood. at the purple field someone else was already taking pictures, as you can see, but i didnt want to wait until he was done (cold!), and just included him in my picture...
today, on the other hand, it really felt like...well.. almost summer! everyone was out and about, the news mentioned it has never been warmer on this day in the netherlands before (at least since people started measuring it), and we sat in the sun on the balcony with bare arms!! tomorrow its supposed to be even warmer....

Fabulous. You are making me jealous. Last year I was in Amsterdam the first week in April when it was the coldest that it had been in 150 years and the tulips weren't blooming. It looks like this year's weather is the opposite. Enjoy your good fortune.
Wow, that is a lot of purple, have not seen yet so many here, only some groups. Yes, it is summer today!
That would be impossible to ignore! It's gorgeous! So much purple! We have lavender fields here in summer that are very nice, but not the vivid purple of crocuses. These are so nice...
it was great to have our bare arms out in the sun again!
