An Interior Light in the Tulip

I don’t think of myself as an “abstract” person but of late I have felt like exploring that side of myself, especially today when I know there are other things I should be doing. 😉  I will do those things but …

… for a moment I give myself permission (once again) to creatively procrastinate by sorting through the  digital files and pulling out a few images catching my attention.  Some certainly bordering on the abstract.  All imbued with a certain light and play of shadows.

Ideas are starting to come to mind for how I might use these and other images.  But … after a while … procrastination is procrastination no matter what adjective I put in front of the word.  And so, for now, I must put away the camera and avert my eyes from photography files.  At least until tomorrow.  😉

Despite my pronouncement that I might be done with tulips, a dear friend surprised me with some.  I took that as a sign that this photographic journey is to continue for a while longer. 😉

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.

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. 😉
