How wonderful to see a Balenchine ballet and I love the Emerald costume. Never been to Amsterdam: it does look colourful and really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe ballet, cheeses and canal sites are beautiful enough, but the tulips are soul- satisfying! At least to me on a chilly rainy day. Thank you for posting them all.
