Picture Perfect -- Around the World

The idea of this week's theme is that you look around you and snap a photo of something that is Unique to your part of the world. Look at your world through the eyes of those of us in other lands.

Every part of the world is unique, whether you live in an isolated village in Africa or big city suburbia in America. What you think is common may well be very peculiar to someone on the other end of the globe - or even in the next town, so have fun with this!

The theme this week is:

'Around the world'

This photo was taken last spring with my Canon Powershot A520.

Around the World -- This is Michigan

  11. Terrific flower bed and I thought the same thing as the first post... Holland. It must be nice to see them bloom after the snow melts. Thanks for sharing some of Michigan's beauty, Rani.

    Don't know if you've stopped by yet... but mine is at:

  12. Regarding the tulips: Lots of Hollanders in Grand Rapids, Michigan ... myself included (1/4 Dutch, 1/4 German, 1/4 English but in the U.S. since before the Revolution, and 1/4 from Austria but in the U.S. since William Penn let the Mennonites in). Heinz 57 is what my grandma called it.
