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.

Water on the Green

Window Frames in Shadow on the Wall

Cactus All Aglow

Mystic River Lights Through Reeds

Behind the Fence Brightly
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. 😉
