Tulips

January 28, 2010 By Carole

The Lens Day challenge for this week is Blossom.  How fortunate that I bought two bouquets of tulips the other day.

Pink and Yellow Tulip Bouquet for blog

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.

Pink and Yellow Tulips for blog

I finally went with one pink and one yellow and I love the combination of the two.

Pink Tulip with a White Background for blog

The pink speaks to my girl-y side.

Yellow Tulip Petals for blog

And the yellow speaks to my yearning-for-spring side.

Pink Tulip Center for blog

And the whole thing just makes me happy. Tulips are good for the soul.

Tulip Stem for blog

And really fun to photograph. Perhaps even a little addictive.

    I think I’ll pick some up while at the grocery store today!

    Love, love, love! They say spring loud and clear.

    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.

    Thanks for that wonderful glimpse of spring! I need to get some tulips!!

    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.

    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! ” 😀

    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!’

    Oh how I love tulips! These photos are just the thing as I sit watching the snow come down outside.

    So cheerful and pretty! Thank you.

    We’ll know you’re addicted when you post photos of WILTED tulips…

    is there a thousand times love button anywhere?
    oh I simply adore these photos!!
    thanks so much.

    you should make prints and do a row of tulip photos along a wall.. sooooo lovely.

    I love Tulips, any color but your pictures are beautiful. It reminds me of the Tulip Festival in San Francisco.

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
