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. 😉

New Tulips in the House

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.
