Brighten Your Winter

I think this is the latest I've succumbed to the lure of fresh tulips - normally I purchase them in January and here we are, well into February. I blame the upcoming Valentine's Day for marketing these beautiful flowers in the stores.

Tulips

I just couldn't resist them. And they make me happy - I think it's a win-win.

  2. Beautiful photos...#1 is my fave. Up until now I have resisted the winter flower purchase but I know they will be calling me when I'm at the grocery store tonight.

  5. I am convinced that tulips were meant for those of us who love photographing flowers. They bend this way and that so beautifully and their blooms are so sweet and dear. I pan on buying some this weekend to practice shooting them. Hope you have a photo filled week. genie
