Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717
In Portuguese we call this hawk "Gavião Belo", which means Beautiful Hawk, and in my opinion the name could not be better. Black-collared Hawk - Busarellus nigricollis - wild - at Transpantaneira, MT, end of the day.

Yesterday, March 30, 2015, was a Big and Beautiful Sky Day! The large farmhouse and barn located on State Route 43, near Hartville, Ohio seem miniature in comparison.
Finished work, popped down the beach (safer than a slippy pier) with my old camera and tripod and there it was an incoming tide, heavy clouds, crashing waves and spirited fast winds, got down in the waves (very wet knees but I couldn't feel the cold was so pleased with the cloud formation and the rocks) put on a few ND filters and set my long exposure speed and I got a 'Beautiful Storm' just emailed this to my hubby he wants this on canvas for our office so I thought I'd share it with my Flickr Friends, have a great Thursday everyone and stay safe x
