Today I have had a big problem with the computer. Just now it seems to be OK, but who knows what happens. These machines seem to have a life of their own, and you never know when the problems start!
Have a nice day my dear Flickr friends.

It's spring and the Tulips are in bloom. In fact, they are almost done for the year. Red buds are in full bloom now and dogwood trees are just starting to bloom. This image is of Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville, TN. I took it on Friday, March 26, 2021. On Saturday we had torrential downpours (over 7 inches of rain in less than 24 hours). I doubt that there are any tulip blooms left now. I'm really looking forward to the dogwood blooms. (Image edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
It is tulip season, remains special these colors of nature.
Many thanks for your visit and for the Dutch enjoy your Kingsday!

Peaceful Saturday
Un tulipano non si sforza di impressionare nessuno. Non lotta per essere diverso da una rosa. Non ne ha bisogno. È diverso. E in un giardino c'è spazio per ogni fiore.
(Marianne Williamson)
A tulip doesn't strive to impress anyone. It doesn't struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn't have to. It is different. And there's room in the garden for every flower.

Hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend. We finally have some sunshine and it should last through tomorrow -- then rain again!
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

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.
From last year's tulip garden. It's still too early to see any flowers here. We are getting more snow this morning! So anxious for warm, spring temps and new flower images.
Thank you for taking the time to view, fave and/or comment on my photo. Have a great day!

The pink tulip has forever remained a symbol of the birth of real feelings. Nowadays, it is customary to give a bouquet of rosebuds unopened. Many still believe that as flowers bloom, innocent feelings acquire the “taste” of burning true love and the couple’s relationship only becomes stronger, and obstacles can be overcome.
Many mistakenly believe that tulips first appeared in Holland. Actually, it is not. The homeland of these flowers is the western part of the Mediterranean and part of Central Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkey). Some types of tulips grew wild in North Africa, Southern Europe and Japan.
This flower came to Europe in 1554. In Augsburg (Germany), the ambassador to the Turkish court, Busbeck, sent bulbs. He saw a beautiful flower during one of his trips around the country.
There is an interesting theory regarding the origin of the name of the flower. In 1562, the first large shipment of Turkish tulips reached Antwerp, which at the time was part of Dutch territory. Soon the supply of bulbs was put on stream. Gardeners from Europe saw similarities between the shape of the flower and the Turkish headdress. They started calling the flower "Tulipan", from "tuilbend", the Turkish word for turban. So the name of this beautiful flower appeared.
