Hello dear friends.
I´m on my feet again , slowly , slowly, I'll be back.
A lot of training right now, and it's hard to sit at the computer.
But I'm glad that finally I'll soon have two healthy knees to go with it.
Thanks for all the encouraging greetings.
It's beautiful here in Holland, MI, this time of year. The annual Tulip Time is in full swing. I took this picture 10 days ago so these tulips are probably getting past their peak. A lack of sun and time prevented me from getting back to these blossoms and shooting them in full bloom.
Hello There!
There is a local park which had some tulips that really wanted to be photographed. I obliged and spent that morning fooling around with the DoF while battling with the wind. Many of the images got turfed, but I decided to keep this one because I liked the colours which I did not alter. Editing and effects via Topaz Studio.
Happy Slider's Sunday! HSS!
Thank you for taking a peek and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a happy day!

It is the start of the tulip season here in Holland. Each season the fields are different in terms of location and type of flowers. So it takes some exploding to find the right spot. In this field the tulips are not yet fully in bloom, however I actually like that because it gives some extra dynamic to the shot.
Hope you have a great Easter holiday.
Many thanks for your comments and favs :-)
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
