fPhoto Friday - Tulips!

Spring is finally arriving in our area and I couldn't be happier about that! Our trees have new buds, grass is turning green and the tulips and daffodils are just starting to bud and bloom. Flowers are some of my favorite photo subjects, especially tulips! While I wait for this year's blooms, I thought I'd share some of God's amazing artistry from last spring, taken at a nearby park...











Hope it's warming up wherever you are! For more fPhoto Friday, stop by and see Natalie of Married to the Preacher. Happy Weekend!

Beautiful. THe yellow/red combo it unique. I've seen the red/white.

I thought FOR SURE you would make some comment about the first picture. Am I the only one who noticed the single yellow among the reds? Or am I the only dipstick that is awed by it?
I've been emailing to your work and home from both my hotmail and gmail.
Love ya,
Paula

Oh my goodness! They are beautiful!! I'm in love with the yellow and red!! Where in the world did you get the bulbs for them?

I'm completely garden illiterate (hehe) but I'm trying to learn from my boyfriend's Mom who love gardening! I'd love to try to have beautiful tulips in front of my home in the future :)

Great photos!

Tricia said...

since I know hitting reply to your email won't make it to you. I will answer you here. yes, there was an update 4 sent on Wednesday to your work and home from hotmail. I just sent update 5 from both hotmail and gmail. Try adding this to your home email:
chic4him (at) gmail (dot) com. at for @ and dot for .

See if you don't have some emails from chic4him in your junk. Actually, if you find update 5 just scroll down and you'll find update 4 attached in the same email.

Why does technology have to be so persnickity?

Yes, I would've gasped at I seen that large field with the one. I'd still be standing there in awe.
Love,
P

Just a little something from Judy said...

You captured the exquisite beauty of these tulips perfectly with your photography. God is a Master Artist, creating the colors, shades and markings of these beautiful flowers. It brings joy to my heart when I look at these pictures.

Beautiful tulips Tracy!

I'm embarassed to say that these reminded me of an "I Love Lucy" episode where Lucy and Ethel entered a tulip competition. In the end they both had wax tulips that melted in the sun.

We have had a beautiful week in the 80s. I have been loving it!

Melanie said...

Tracy,

These are just gorgeous... especially that last picture!

We've been out of town all week and just returned home earlier this evening. What a wonderful welcome home I received by way of the package you sent! I just love every single item. Thank you so very much!!

Love you!

Are you sure you're not in Holland? That's what these photos remind me of.

Yolanda said...

The very first word in my mind was:

gorgeous


And I loved in the first photo amidst the coral colored was the lone yellow, in the ceter, perhaps looking like it is propping up another tulip. Isn't God like that? Propping us up?

Love,
Yolanda

Julie said...
