I went to the tulip and daffodil fields often this year.
Daffodils, Morning Light
Eighteen times to be precise.
Yellow Tulips and a Smile
A new record for visits in one year.
Backlighting, my favorite
The Daffodils started in February.
Stars!
As of today, April 17, the tulips are done.
Beheading
Finished, kaput.
Pink River

I am not sorry, I’m relieved.
Tulip Selfie
My Tulip Goal for this year was two-fold: to get an image of a huge double rainbow directly over the blazing tulip fields AND to somehow capture an image of dark skies over the tulips being ripped asunder by searing bolts of lightning.
Converging
The Barn
Mud
Pinks
I failed miserably on both of these counts.
MUD!
All of these image, and many more, are for sale as fine art prints as well as Canvas Wrapped Prints. Here is the place to view and buy!
Love the back lit scene
