The magnolia blossoms had there dramatic yet brief time in the limelight giving way for the tulips to take center stage in my garden. We have a quite a variety of them and I always find that if I don't get out and enjoy them next thing I know their petals have fallen and the garden is making way for the summer blossoms.
I think this is the coldest May long weekend I can remember so I think the tulips might grace my garden for a little while longer. Since I am not out camping or canoeing in the frost or snow ( yes we have dipped below freezing this weekend) I have been working a few little tutorials to share with you very soon. It seems so long since my last one. Here is a hint of what is to come.
Your tulips are gorgeous! Ours are making way for the Lupines in the back and the Columbines in the front. They do go so quickly. Can't wait to see your upcoming tutorial...

I love the way the close-ups look like paintings. So lovely.

Dew on the Tulip by Raymond A. Foss
Perfect droplets
cling to the purple skin
the liquid flesh
of the tulip bloom
holding on, for moments more
before the melting away
in the May sunshine
waiting for my camera
my posing, posturing
holding still for the shot
ready to complete the cycle
from the cloud to the earth
and back again
in the warming
of the morning
Lovely photos Margie.
Can't wait for the fish.
Wonder if I will really make
a fish, or a net.
Loads of love to you and your
wonderful house.
