Brookside Tulips - 2015

Photographing tulips is something I want to do at least once every spring. For this spring it happened last week at Brookside Gardens on a bright sunny day.

I photography them from just about every angle….from the side

And overhead.

There were pots of them on pillars in a pool

And beds that were almost all the same color. The single one that is different always catches the eye.

One bed had flowers that were different heights….red and white on tall stalks and pink closer to the ground.

Some tulips have several layers of petals rather than the classic single ground of petals.

The green - white - pink colors combination is always one of my favorites.

The all seem to shout: Spring is Here!
