The Lens Day challenge for this week is Blossom. How fortunate that I bought two bouquets of tulips the other day.
They were on sale for $5 a bunch and I knew I wanted two bunches but I had the hardest time deciding on the color.
I finally went with one pink and one yellow and I love the combination of the two.
The pink speaks to my girl-y side.
And the yellow speaks to my yearning-for-spring side.
And the whole thing just makes me happy. Tulips are good for the soul.
And really fun to photograph. Perhaps even a little addictive.
Nora Said,
Oh, yum. Tulips are such glorious things, aren’t they?
Estella Said,
I think I’ll pick some up while at the grocery store today!
margene Said,
Love, love, love! They say spring loud and clear.
Manise Said,
Good color choices! Perfect for a gray day.
Beth Said,
Very pretty! I love tulips, too.
jill Said,
Very pretty shots. I especially like the close-up inside the tulip. I cannot wait for the first signs of tulips peeking out from the earth. Until then, I may need to buy some as well.
Geri Said,
Thanks for that wonderful glimpse of spring! I need to get some tulips!!
Katie K Said,
I agree with Jill. That close up is particularly beautiful. Isn’t it cool that the stamen (is that a stamen?) is triangular? I don’t think there are a lot of triangles in nature. A nice contrast to the snnwstorm outside my window here in NYC.
Kate Said,
Gorgeous photos, they just say “spring”!
I agree with you that there’s something about photographing tulips – last spring I went to my grandma’s house and took hundreds of pictures of her tulip beds. And the greatest thing is that tulips never start whining, “Are we done yet? The sun’s in my eyes! I’m tired! ”
Jo-Ann Said,
Love tulips! Trucchi’s didn’t have any yesterday when I went, or I’d have a bunch on my table. The pink & yellow go great together, very ‘Spring is coming!’
Kirsten Said,
Oh how I love tulips! These photos are just the thing as I sit watching the snow come down outside.
Sylvia Said,
So cheerful and pretty! Thank you.
We’ll know you’re addicted when you post photos of WILTED tulips…

Stephieknits Said,
I love Tulips, any color but your pictures are beautiful. It reminds me of the Tulip Festival in San Francisco.
Amy Said,
Oh, those pictures are just what I needed to cheer me up on this gray Colorado day.
Suzanne Said,
I love tulips! The pink and yellow are perfect together.
