Hello Treklens

Well here we are .. a few days away from my visit to the land of the well known photographers..like


Hendrika-Greenbaron-Wallie-Janone-JohnTulip -Ejtaan-Ruudblok-Mrlittle-Ninnix-Viking
Suntoucher-Jawa-Joopschotsman-Josine-Jan-Hitbit-Korbee-Jacqueline
and many more ... I am always a little stupid and forget names like:
Hans Tulip .. John GreenBaron.. Elsdrika ..Janone plus one.. Don Wallieton ...



Arriving Sunday morning round 11 am on Schiphol Airport First from Chicago to London and from London to A*dam with Brittish Airways.

These flowers stand for the Dutch national color .. the Kingdom of the House of Orange-Nassau

In case Queen Beatrix might be there herself to welcome me .. I take these Orange Roses as a token of my admiration for Cloggy Land

From JohnTulip I learned last year in Toronto already a few useful Dutch words ..like:

Pilsje / fluitje
Doei
Amme hoela
Dank je de koekoek
Wat kost dit ?
Vals loeder
Lekker ding
Lekker bakkie koffie
Koffie verkeerd

And reading on a cap from GreenBaron:
'Dat zeg ik'

So I hope this will help me on my way to make friends...
Holland .. hold your Horses.. Here I come
''Tot Zondag''

Thanks for reading this friends... and I will do some espionage for TL.. to see how the Dutch work in many ways.

Bye Bloomington and hello Holland....
and I wil sing the 'Wilhelmus' Dutch national song
{+__+}

Who discoverd Holland???
Abel Tasman?
Picasso?
Doctor Phill?
James Cook?

Hello Vandana.
With a Big Smile I readed your description. Goed gedaan.!
Ik hoop dat jy not have to say, "Koud hé" ? (Cold,isn't it ?)
Its a famous sentence in wintertime, during the speedskating cames. It became very populair, as written on caps and on a TV commercial.
Lovely photo with the orange roses, you sent here.
Harteluk Bedankt. With a Big Smiley.
Tot ziens.
Jan

Beautiful capture. Excellent sharpness and details.
Wish you a very pleasant voyage :-).

Almost..... just one more day or so...

It really sounds as if you are already having so much fun Vandana! Well... I know myself, I can't hardly wait to go if I'm going to have a vacation.

Sad news is, that I won't be joyning you.
There is too much work at the moment and I just cannot take the day off... heck I even think I will be working my days off in the next couple of weeks (usually I have Wednesdays off... but not now)...
I wanna wish you and all the others a wonderful stay in Holland... And don't forget to ask John to make a short stop in Hoorn, coz that is really a very nice place with an old harbour and old wooden ships!

A real wonderful entry here Vandana... Some great roses. Beautiful colors and sharpness and a very good composition.

Cheers!

Very nice orange hues in these flowers, Vandana. Well composed, colours are perfectly saturated.
Mmm... I wouldn't recommend saying some of the expressions John taught you. For instance, don't say "vals loeder" to the air-hostesses ;o));
TFS
Will see you next Thursday.

Absolutely spot-on Vandana - orange - you could not do better!
I hope you got the translations when receiving those expressions because "vals loeder" really is not a nice thing to say, so you better forget that one.
As for discovering Holland: well - you are going to!
A delightful picture and a delightful note - double points here! Made me LOL.
