I picked up some tulips at the market on Wednesday because the day was drowning in the sludge of Not Spring. The dark, the wet, the cold, the goo--too much. Nothing else for it but tulips.

ReplyDeleteSandy: Bringing spring indoors in our harsh February weather. I also pick-up some flowers this week.
ReplyDeleteI love tulips and they come in so many pretty colours nowadays. It's a shame it will be at least another two months before mine are out in the garden!!

Beautiful color tulip! Flower cheer me up during this slushy snow days too!
ReplyDeleteI love the color and the texture of this one. And the subtle lighting accent on the leaves.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful.
Yes, hardly can we find any females that do not have a liking for flowers.
ReplyDeleteEven men, my young son previously enjoy going to the nursery to buy/view flowers more than the toy department.
*note* I wrote previously ..now it's mom, can we go home now? lol
Beautiful sign of Spring coming. Ours are almost in bloom on the ground since we had such a mild winter and no snow since December 27th.
ReplyDeletemy neighbor gave me a pot of blooming pink hyacinths that smell so sweet...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bud! I hope the snow and cold season clear soon and welcome Spring!
ReplyDeleteNothing cheers up February more than a bunch of Holland flowers be they tulips, freesia or gerbers
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous tulip! I've been thinking about doing the same thing. The tulips here are so beautiful right now and the stores are full of them. Love color! And they are the best way to bring a pokey-slow spring into your home! Hope you have a great day, Sandy!

By the time Tulips come around I know it is really Spring. These are a particularly nice color. We have been buying a lot of cut flowers here. For our sake and to try and help the industry in general.
ReplyDeletePS It was probably me but your link on TF wasn't working. Luckily I had your site bookmarked and got over that way.
absolutelky I agree. Bring spring inside !! sandy
ReplyDeleteYeah, flowers!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers brighten our lives, Sandy and with the bad weather is good to have them as a company.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week, Dear!
Gorgeous tulip. I love the shade of the color.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how a bunch of tulips can lift our spirits! Good thinking! (I may do the same thing tomorrow.)
ReplyDeleteThis tulip is a poem to the Mother Earth!
ReplyDelete:-)
Magnificent, thanks for sharing!
so incredibly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAren't they the most comforting, reassuring flowers. They scream spring no matter when you have them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting angle on the flower... looks a bit like a plastic one. But then Tulips do. They are lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLovely soft focus macro!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color.
I wasn't sure what sort of flower it was, till I read your explanation! The lighting makes it look exotic!! I love the colour!
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture, truly highlighted the lovely flower.
ReplyDeleteThat's a different color from the rest that I have seen today...fuschia.(Did I spell it correctly?) Okay dark pink.
ReplyDeleteAL
I think tulips are the perfect antidote for the kind of day we've been having. The color is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHad to revisit your post. The first link on the meme has "error" it didn't lead me to your blog. So good it was corrected.
ReplyDeletewow one of my favorite ones yet my dear friend
ReplyDeleteMy five year old girls tell me that pink and purple are their favorite colors, so your photo is definitely a girl's thing.

Beautiful lighting and composition. I love this.
ReplyDelete" The sludge of Not Spring" Love it I'm sure I will have to work that into a conversation LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely choice. Tulips don't do well where I live because it doesn't get cold enough, so buy them to enjoy as well ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Tulips put a happy skip in anyone's day. Beautiful shot Sandy.
ReplyDeleteLovely image in all its sublime color. Sometimes you just have to go get flowers instead of waiting for them to pop up.
ReplyDeletei liek tulips too!
