vondelpark in amsterdam right before rain

at some point i'll write a longer post about amsterdam. i'm suffering from a bit of writer's block tonight. the one thing i'll leave you with is that i left part of my heart in amsterdam. the flowers, the gardens, the bicycles, the canals. you'll get to see more of it throughout the week. i'm slowly working on editing and posting pictures. pete and i were there for 8 flower filled days and you've seen some sneak peaks of the keukenhof and the flower market. we went to aalsmeer -- the big flower auction -- and i got my hands dirty with another flower arrangement.

two words for you: BLEEDING HEARTS!
