Bloom.

Before I left for Amsterdam, my parents each sent me money for a "fresh flower fund", and I've been taking that charge very seriously.  It was off to the Bloemenmarkt yesterday, the floating flower market, to fulfill my floral destiny. It's terribly touristy, but the blooms make braving the crowds worthwhile.

Contemplating why I am taking yet another photo/how to casually disarm me

Tiny sheep along the way!

We have arrived at the market, as you may have guessed.

Overwhelmed!

Surprise!
