This is your personal invitation: Thanksgiving Point's Tulip Festival is going on now! It opened last weekend, but Mother Nature hasn't quite cooperated this year, so it is running a little late. So the management has extended the official festival dates until May 7th.
Each year for the past, well, at least six years I have gone out to see the wave of tulips in bloom. Some are early bloomers and some are late, but there is always a ton to see, and photograph. This is my favorite spot to shoot flowers that I use for note cards throughout the year.
Tulips are my favorite flower, and while I try to grow them in my yard to enjoy, I just can't hold a candle to the tulip beds at Thanksgiving Point. Gorgeous, I tell you.
It is a little pricey to get in and tour around the acres of gardens, but once a year, think of it as a spurge! $10 for several hours--if you tiptoe slowly enough--is money well spent. Weekends are VERY busy, and even weekdays are more crowded than non-festival times of year. But these little stalks of beauty are fabulous and to see millions, or so it seems like, at a time--it is a wonder to behold.

See you out and among the tulips sometime in the next week or so. Enjoy!!
