It is spring. And flowers are coming out all over the place. Some are cultured and perhaps a little out of place; others bloom where and when they should.
I'd be hard-pressed to declare a 'favourite' flower. From a photographic point of view, I enjoy taking them all in all their shapes, colours and sizes. I like them when they are new, and I especially like them when they are losing their colour and bloom.
I guess my favourite flower would be whichever one I happen to be photographing at the time.
Today, it is the turn of the tulips.

Taking these pics today was a stark reminder of how quickly the first year here has passed. I looked up last year's blog. Yep, last year, day 89, I was taking photos of the tulips here outside in the park near work.
There will be more to come. And right now, the tulips are my favourite flowers.
