At the corner of Laurel and Howes St. is a median strip with multi colored tulips. I knelt down low so I could just catch the sunrise in the background. Spring is beautiful!

White Tulip and Friends
White Tulip and Friends “A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different than anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.” ― Marianne Williamson

Spring Snow
Tulips Yesterday morning, we woke to a late Spring snowfall. When snow comes this time of year it usually brings on wet heavy snow that bends branches and plants due to the added weight of the snow.

I Got Wet
Wet Tulip I got wet! It was raining when I arrived home from a 4-day trip yesterday morning and discovered it had been raining for the last couple of days.The ground was soaked, spongy to walk on, there was lots of standing water and many of the creeks were full and over-flowing. Later in the afternoon the rain stopped so I headed to Inniswood Gardens in search of rain drops on flowers. I was not disappointed and got in some nice shooting time. Needless to say, after bending down on my knees with camera and tripod, my pants were soaked from the wet ground. Photographers can get lost with time so before I knew it the clouds moved back in and it started to rain. I made a mad dash to the car. Well, I had walked farther into the gardens than I thought it took me a while to reach the car. Yes, I got wet but it was worth it.
