Zoetermeer - our apartment - our surroundings

                                                              This is the apartment 
           building where                                                                                   
we live.  It is built in         
                                                             the round with a court yard in the            middle, this view being                                  on the outside.
 
    If you follow the path that you see near the bottom of the picture towards the right you come to
a path that runs along side of this canal (next picture).
Can you see the path on the very left edge of the picture?
In the canal you see one of our neighbors who lives in that
part of the canal and can be seen there every day now that the weather is so nice.

He and his "wife" live here with several varieties of ducks which are also very interesting to observe.  At this time of the year there are lots of ducklings and it is fun to watch the different families interact with each other.













As we continue along this path it leads us straight to the Temple which is just across a cute foot bridge which goes over another canal.

See the Temple there in the distance?







As we get closer we see that there is a beautiful garden surrounding the temple.



          The garden has tulips of every color
             and several varieties of daffodiles.                 The hiacynths who like the coolness,  have come and gone along with their amazing smell. The pansies who grew along with the hiacynths and were the first color of the season are now hidden by the taller flowers.

The different colors of the tulips are nicely put together.
We have had people comment that they don't need to go to the
places that are so crowded with people to see beautiful tulip
gardens.  They would just rather come here to the Temple
gardens.
