Tulip Photo

A red tulip in our front year, Seward, Alaska.

I glanced outside just a few minutes ago and noticed the overnight fog and rain had coated Janine’s tulips with some wonderful water drops.  Just about the time I set my camera up, a little bit of sunlight started to break through the fog perfectly illuminating the flowers – it looked like they were glowing red!  

This is hot off the press, just a few minutes old, unless of course you are reading this hours or days later.

Those water drops look so fresh! You should thank Janine for having the time to maintain the flowers.

It’s raining down here today also, oddly enough.

Water drops seem to make then look so much better, nice work Ron

Ron,
What a nice job on the tulip in your front yard. I think the way you let the background go soft real accentuates the detail in the flower. It reminded me that I have a couple images of tulips in my backyard that I need to put up on my website, http://www.tomdwyerphoto.com.
I thought you might like to see the few that I do have on up, taken at the Tulip Festival in Albany, NY.

Hi Richard – thanks, I do need to thank Janine! Can’t believe you are getting rain!

Thanks Dennis.

Thanks Tom – I will have to check out your Tulip Festival images – that must be an amazing event.
