The Netherlands Carillion + Tulips

{source}

The Netherlands Carillon monument was a gift from the Dutch people to the United States after World War II as a symbol of friendship. Two bronze lions guard the plaza entrance.

This monument is located adjacent to the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. At Carillon concerts and on Independence Day, attendees can listen to the bells play.

Currently, tulips of all colors are planted along this national parkland. A few days ago, I photographed some of the varieties and a few pictures of my nieces on a beautiful sunny day.

P.S. My bouquet at my wedding was made of red and white tulips.  :)
