Friday flowers...more tulips


Happy Friday to you all friends. I am still a bit obsessed by my tulips and cannot stop photographing them. I have been so lazy with my blogging and had planned a bigger post on this, so maybe next week.
Above is the first of my new bulbs that I planted earlier this year. I planted a bunch of purple and lemon tulips out the front and was surprised to see this one looking very magenta in colour. Still very beautiful. Of course his mates are well behind him and it will be a while before they're out.
Why is it as soon as the tulips come out the winds also come, blowing them to bits? That's Spring I suppose :)


My obsession with shadows also continues :)
I hope you all have a fab weekend. I'm working but thems the breaks - but having said that, work on Sunday involves a mini function with lots of scones and sweet treats. No bad.

  8. IF you have to have obsessions Sarah, then tulips and shadows are more than perfectly acceptable to me. I hope the wind is ok down south, it is shocking here. I think all the blossom will be off by morning. Deb

  10. Your tulips are lovely as are ours too and i've not photographed ours as much. First we had the pink ones, then the yellow, now it's the blood streaked - red on yellow, my favourites. Also had a couple of dark purple ones but can't remember planting them?

  13. Your tulip photos are so devine! I love looking at them! Has anything been happening on the reno front? Have I missed it? I have been a slack blogger as you know ha. How is your studio/office going since the new curtains etc...these are the important questions I ponder. xxx
