A visit to The Table Cape
Tulip Farm had me revisiting
the Tiny Tim song.
The spectacular sight
of all the colour of rows and
rows of tulips sets this
flower lovers heart
a flutter.
The Tulip Farm was established
26 years ago and is now
one of the largest in
the Southern Hemisphere.
The spectacular blooms play
a secondary role as it is the
bulbs themselves that are
sold all around the country
in Autumn.
The farm is on the North West tip
of our state overlooking
Bass Strait, the stretch of
water that separates us
from mainland Australia.
Last week the very talented
Joni James of An Artful Closet
kindly included me in her
Round the World in 20 blogs
post.
The ferry featured in Joni`s post
travels this stretch of water.
I choose to dress quite
simply in good
old black and white
as I knew the colour of the tulips
would be the star of the show.
Wearing black and white
straight leg pants from
Meredith and a flared
black light jumper.
Paired with a red, black and white
necklace and black and white bangle.
Coral brogues from last summer,
so comfortable for tip toeing.
I also bought my flowery tote along.
No man made colour
can ever compete with
the glorious colour
provided by Mother Nature.
On another note all together,
we have a new addition to
our family. An 8 week old
as yet unnamed puppy.
He is a little white fluff ball,
a Bischon Fris, Maltese cross,
cute as a button.
Joining Patti and all the other
colourful souls for Visible Monday.
The tulips are breathtakingly lovely, Jill! And congratulations on your new puppy, what a treat. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, xo.
The puppy is a much belated Christmas present, making himself right at home. Always enjoy Visible Monday, many thanks for hosting.
It is so generous of you to give the flowers the starring role here, but they are spectacular. I look forward to seeing the puppy in future posts…
The tulips were very beautiful. The puppy will no doubt star in an upcoming post.
Love all the colors…can't believe its tulips. What a colorful fun post!
Thank you Pam, the tulips were such a mixture of wonderful colours, makes me keen to plant lots for next Spring.
What a wonderful afternoon. We have tulip fields north of here about 40 miles or so. The bright color is amazing across fields like that.Speaking of that ferry, it looks enormous! Do you go to the mainland often?
Tulips make a spectacular display en masse, always enjoyable for me to see.Regarding the ferry , it takes large trucks, caravans and cars , travel time about 12 hours. I must admit I have never been on the ferry, I prefer to fly.
Beautiful! We are experiencing an early Fall here in Nashville so it's wonderful to see new life halfway around the world You were so smart to wear black and white amidst all that color. I do hope you'll post about your puppy soon!Aliciaspashionista.com
Thank you Alicia, I am sure your Fall colours in Nashvile are stunning. I plan a post with the new puppy soon.
Wow! What a sight the tulips must be! And of course black and white is always a great choice, you look so classy! 🙂

Thank you Shani for your kind comments, so pleased to meet you.
Just as Joni said, there are similar fields of tulips here every April opened for public, and it is such a miracle to see this amazing bloom! Gorgeous photos, and I like your coral converses and black and white outfit against the wild colorful field of tulips!
I am thinking your Seattle area has a similar climate to ours.The colour of the massed tulips always inspires me. Glad you like the outfit, Natalia.
Those tulips are wonderful! Their vivid colours and huge quantity of fields are fantastic! I really miss spring! Your red necklace gives your look a beautiful, bright touch!
I love the vibrance of Spring but I also love Autumn and I am sure yours is really lovely. Glad you liked the necklace Dan, with your eye for a necklace as well as your clever making skills.
Beautiful photos Jill, looks like a great place to visit.Look forward to hearing more about your new puppy, how exciting to have a new furry addition to the family
