Morges (population 17,000) hugs the shoreline of Lake Geneva and I'm here to checkout their 56th annual Festival of Tulips.
It's the tail-end of the two week extravagance of colors but the tulips are still putting on quite the display.
Ten days ago I was cycling in snow and now, it will be in the high 60's. However, tomorrow it'll be back in the 40's with rain. It's typical Swiss April weather.
The water fountains on the main shopping street in Morges (pedestrian-only) have been turned into colorful displays.
How big is this tulip festival? Tour buses bring in visitors.
The festival is usually held around Easter time. Which explains the rabbits and easter eggs in the displays.
Even the grounds of the 13th century Morges Castle get into the act.
Tulips in front of Morges Castle.
Lots of color.
Another fountain with a big wabitt in the corner.
Colorful swans.
Another fountain.
I like this color combination.
More tulips on the promenade.
This is a roundabout in a nearby village.
Closer inspection--looks like a Smurf on a surfboard.
