Tulips









Tulips

The weather here in April and May was pretty good. In fact we had a few days of record-breaking temperatures for this part of the world. Then, for two weeks in late May and early June, we had rain, drizzle and fog along with single-digit temperatures (°C). Yesterday was the first really nice day we had in June - it was 22°C (74°F).


On May 20, I made today's images of tulips growing in my back yard. These early bloomers were a welcome sight and added beautiful colours to our yard.

Great tulip pictures. The tulips are lasting longer a/c chilly weather.... when we are hoping to plant out some annuals and such. I do like the 'shadowing' approach to two of something - often one gets a divided image. It is also nice when the tulips are all in one focal plane. Many thanks.
