Tiptoe through the...
All of the tulips in my yard are done now. I've been procrastinating posting the pictures because I thought I hadn't uploaded them to Flickr yet. Pretty lame excuse, I know. Even more lame because, duh, I did have them uploaded. So here are some of them that I'd like to share.
This was at the beginning of the tulips in my yard.
The sun was a bit bright here.
I love the colors in this one.
These were hard to photograph because they were almost a black color.
You're getting three pictures of the inside of this color tulip. I couldn't believe how delicate it was.
Also because I caught this little guy at work. He looks cool in the large size.
Too much paparazzi for him. He's leaving.

Those tulips are absolutely gorgeous. Truly stunning. I love those dark ones too.
Thanks, Kranki! I wish you could've seen them in person. Much better than the pictures.
I think it's in better taste to e-mail you what I'm thinking right now.
As it normally is...
Gorgeous shots - seriously the bee's knees :-D (literally)
Ooooh, there's another pincer-wielding little bug of some sort in those last two photos with the bee, isn't there? Did you use a macro lens to get those? Man, those are gorgeous tulips!!! Beautiful photos!!
Chia, got your e-mail ;-D
Thanks!
E, there's a piece of leaf in there, if that's what you mean. Didn't feel like disturbing the bee in order to get it out. :-)
I do have a macro button on my camera. Still using my original point and shoot digital.
Thanks!!
Those are beautiful Squirl. I now want to really rip out whats in front of the house and do this too. Lots of work. But I bet I could do it.
What a beautiful bed of tulips! I hope they were somewhere where you saw them frequently.
I really like the variety that is yellow on the outside and orangey-red on the inside. There is another one that reminds me of a tulip I got last year - the one that is orangey-red and has the feathering on the edges of each petal. I just love it and love being reminded of it. :-)
Tweety, thanks! And good luck growing your own. :-)
Danielle, these were all in my very own backyard! I never really "got into" tulips until the last few years. I can't believe all of the different varieties there are. They really are a gorgeous flower.
I will show these to Stumpy when she's home at the weekend and, like ne, she will bow down to your superior photographic skill. Gorgeous pictures - I think you could make even my garden look good!
Fabulous, Squirl. Both the tulips and the photos are fabulous. Thank you.
htgt, thanks! I know you already saw them on Flickr. :-)
Platy, thanks! I thought the Brits were supposed to be the ones with the gorgeous gardens. ;-)
Nick, thanks! Glad you enjoyed them.
I never knew there was more than one kind of tulip until I was married and he started planting the different varieties. I'm now a huge fan of tulips.
Love the dark ones the best!
Bucky, I know, the variations astound me.
Hmmm...I can't pick my favorite. I love the color combinations you made planting them!
Jenski, thanks! I had a friend help me. She's been working with flowers for many many years.
I absolutely LOVE tulips. These are gorgeous. The dark ones are stunning.
Thanks, Soozie! Nice to see you!
