The tulips

I followed my own advice; we picked up these beautiful tulips on Tuesday. It's been a pleasure watching them open up...

The colors are soft and just pulled me right into them when my little S. and I stumbled across them this week. Honestly, she found them first. I completely agreed with her- they had to come home with us!




Just for fun...

Beautiful! I love photographing tulips because you can get different looks every day as their shape changes. Cool processing on that last one! I like texture with flower shots, the rough with the soft.

Beautiful soft color on these tulips! You see the vibrant ones so frequently that you forget that there are these lovely pastel ones. Love the 4th shot, with just some of the center showing, and the great texture in the petals. Your PP on the last shot is really cool!!!
