This is my first Tulip photo of the year and won’t be my last. I know many have been done, but still doesn’t take away the beauty. I took my spray bottle with me for this one, and gave the Tulip a little drink and also enhanced my photo.
I want to share this quote that my sister shared on her Facebook page. It is awesome.
What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly. ~ Lao Tsu
So awesome isn’t it? I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy creating memories.

Really beautiful photo, the up-close shot with these magnificent colors just make this extraordinary! Keep up the great work, from one photographer to another!
Tks Aaron, appreciate it.

I love tulips and they always brighten my day. So go ahead and post and many as you like. It’s beautiful.
Beautiful tulip, and beautiful capture.
I recently stumbled across a photography style called Bokeh. I think your tulip fits the criteria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh
Think I’ll try that water spray approach – it looks amazing!
Thanks
Absolutely beautiful. My favorite flower, too. You captured it’s beauty and the colors are stunning!
