Arriving in Nieuwoudtville

In the late afternoon we arrived in Nieuwoudtville, a small village nestled amongst trees and fields of spring flowers.  This town is rightly called the bulb capital of the world, with botanists and enthusiasts from all over the world arriving during the flower season to immerse themselves in the beauty of the blooms.  Sheets of reflecting water everywhere were evidence of good rains so the signs were promising for excellent flower spotting the next day.

Passing the local garage ...

Setting sun, gleaming water.
