Beautiful! Things, events, people, all become so much more interesting when we look beyond the standard and expected impessions we're conditioned to look for.
Thanks for showing me with your photos; I'm trying to get better at looking outside the box.
Great shots! I love that the petals are curling in such neat ways. The light is perfect.
Thanks, also, for your encouraging words! I am feeling much better and my "funk" is going away. Thank goodness for long weekends and some time to get my head together. I'm really thinking I need to buy some journals to be creative in each day. I really liked that idea a lot. (Spending hiatus may have to go on hiatus today!) Thanks, again!
Just lovely! The life of a tulip is so short; great that you captured some forever. also love that selection of blue below; the one with tiny items laid on blue is particularly striking.

I think I prefer the lively, vivacious kind of tulips rather than the near-death-experience kind. Funny, my "verification word" was dedni. How apropos. . .
Your photos are beautiful. They remind me of a beautiful book by Irving Penn. He photographed fresh tulips as well as old desiccated tulips. I wish I bought the book when I saw it because now it's out of print.
oh absolutely. tulips are such drama queens... :)
ReplyDeleteOooh. I am finding tulips more interesting dead than alive! Especially with some yummy bokeh or blur in the background!

Could be the lead in to a Swedish movie ... of course it would have to be in black and white.
