New Tulips in the House
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged color, flowers, Inspiration, musings, nature, Photography, pink, tulips, white on February 16, 2012| 4 Comments »
Four days ago, when I entered the flower shop, one goal was to find white tulips to photograph. I finally selected a bouquet that looked mostly white with just a few petals here and there laced with pink. I figured that was okay.
But as the tulips sat in the kitchen window bathed in sunlight, more and more pink appeared across all of the flowery surfaces.
At first I was a bit chagrined. You see, my last experience with pink tulips had been fun but I really had been trying to photograph something different. Luckily, one of my mottoes in this life is “go with the flow.” 😉
Today, I noticed that the tulips had more fully opened revealing once more that interior beauty.
I really don’t have a flower budget, so I am not sure how many more bouquets of non-pink tulips I will try to buy. But I’ll ponder that challenge later. Right now, I’ll just enjoy the tulips that are present.

Back at the Parking Lot …

After work today I revisited that parking lot I mentioned in an earlier post. I am still quite amazed at what’s to be found in the narrow bands of greenspace of an urban office park.
And finally can you see the two hawks on the poles? Since I didn’t have the equipment to shoot them clearly at a distance, I just enjoyed standing and watching them fly around for a while. 😉

Tulips are not my favorite flowers nor do I usually select pink-budded anything. Yet over the weekend on a whim I picked up a bouquet of pink tulips, narrow heads still tightly closed, to fill an empty vase in the kitchen. For days, as the flowers slowly opened, I kept focusing on the exterior, admiring the loving pink tones of the petals, thinking I might take a few shots at some point. Then this morning I caught a glimpse of each flowers interior. Of course, there went my morning. 😉
As for that hike …

… it was to a lovely, if chilly, new spot for us, the Cutler Park Reservation. We managed to do a loop around Kendrick Pond before the cold was just too much. I’m looking forward to revisiting, especially in warmer weather.
