Tulip / Tulpe (Tulipa) in a vase
More tulips in my personal Tulip Collection.
The leaves are nearly fully developed at this location along the Monocacy Creek.
This is actually one half of a stereo pair.
I went to see the Hanami, the cherry blossoms at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. It was a very busy place on Sunday. This is the main area with the pond, and the Upper House in the back.
I processed a realistic, a paintery, a photographic, and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Next stop, Chappo Spring. I spotted this on Google Maps a few years ago and decided to go for a look. Interesting, but not sure if it was worth the almost 10 mile round trip on the rough road.
Not sure of the history of this place. It doesn't appear to be a mining camp, but more like a homestead. If anyone knows, please comment.
The wind carries my song
From my lips to the corners of the earth,
And the flowers in gladness bloom,
The trees stand a little taller,
And the springs bubble from the roots of the mountains.
The wind carries my whispers
From my teeth to the skies.
But I am oblivious to their sound;
My musings fall not upon my own ears.
Give me grace to renounce my own voice on the wind,
For sometimes I don’t believe it’s there,
Despite the love of flowers for the sound in air.
And yet I sing on
Desperate to hear the melody for myself,
Clinging on to an ancient belief
Give me grace to renounce
Persephone, by David Mills

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed... Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders. Henry David Thoreau
