Making Change For Myself

As I am desperate today for better weather, I thought I'd share with you some of the photos I took last week on a visit to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. The bloom meter was only at 65% the day I was there, but the cycle of blooms was already underway. These master gardeners know which varieties to plant so they bloom in waves for several weeks each spring. As the first begin to fade and die the next wave is already blooming with another set waiting in bud form for their turn.


The variations in the tulips is amazing.


Just look at the blanket of blooms here. Lovely.


I love the light coming through the petals of the flowers in this shot.


I just love the shape of this tulip and its leaves.

Maybe if you close your eyes and concentrate of the images of these spring flowers, you might feel a little more springtime in your day today. Otherwise, let's just endure the weekend and hope the sunshine comes back next week.
