A lovely tulip captured with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens hand held.

I just got home today from Nashville, Tn. the weather was in the 80's and even 92 yesterday, and no humidity.

As for picture taking I was somewhat limited as my girlfriend was attending a seminar, so I would foot it on my own.

A 10 minute walk took me to a park, where tulips where in bloom. So here is my first posting from that trip. Got home and hit a high of 48 degrees! :)

Thank you for commenting, and it's nice to go but it's always nice to come back.

I saw the first tulips here today Sandi. (We have been having over 50°F last few days). Nice shot - beautiful, colourful and with clear details.

This is a prime example of a rare occasion, where composition is completely overcome by content, and the power of color. This has to be your best work (that I've seen) to date, Sandi.

A wonderful kaleidoscope of color, Tigs. Those blue blossoms in the background provide a great foil of complimentary color for your brilliant tulip. We got snow today! Sheesh!

Such vibrant colors. What really got me was the bold colors in the background. The bold blues just make the photo pop more. Beauty.
