The prompt for the month of March over at Ali Edwards was to choose something…
Tulips
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.

Oh, yum. Tulips are such glorious things, aren’t they?
I think I’ll pick some up while at the grocery store today!
Love, love, love! They say spring loud and clear.
Good color choices! Perfect for a gray day.
Very pretty! I love tulips, too.
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…
I love tulips, esp. white ones. Thanks for the shot of color.
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.
Oh, those pictures are just what I needed to cheer me up on this gray Colorado day.
I love tulips! The pink and yellow are perfect together.
Just beautiful!
Tulips are beautiful! And, your photos are so pretty…
Thank you for adding some brightness to my week, Carole!
