Tulip "wow-face" training at the Britzer Gartens

Andrew and I decided to spend Good Friday at the Britzer Garten in Berlin. We bicycled there, through Berlin, and walked around most of the 90 acres of gardens, looking at tulips and watching all of the families that had decided to spend such a beautiful day outdoors, as we had. My favourite part of the park was actually right as you walked in, there were a bunch of park benches for people to sit on dotted around a beautiful field full of trees and tulips. So pretty in a more natural arrangement.

Here are the tons of people . . . all having picnics or playing sports, flying kites, or chatting in groups in the shade.

There was an area that displayed all different types of tulips, so that you could see the differences and similarities between different varieties.

Some trees had eggs on them, celebrating Easter. I guess a big thing to do in Germany for Easter is to decorate an Easter tree, kind of like a Christmas Tree. Seems like a good idea to me :)

No garden is complete without a bienenhaus.

Or a cafe that doubles as a library (this really is my type of gardens). Pity it was already closed for the day :)

A couple of shots of random people, but they typified the kind of experiences people were having here.

A lovely Easter Friday.
