The Bridges of Madison County – Standing in the Rain
The greatest influence on our lives
at the time is not always known
but looking back I see the truth of it
now the most beautiful of us has flown
we didn't always see eye to eye
but made our peace and recognised something more than love
so gentle and so fragile; mutually in sync
a poet and another poet flying high above
you hid your deepest secret very well
I did not guess and that was your intention
you knew my heart would break and I would fall
but don't you know you made me strong; did I forget to mention
some of all the poetry we shared
the thoughts; the impossible maths that disappeared
into the ether long ago before we reconciled
and only fragments of the fire remain to whisper in our ears
to infinity and far beyond we said ...
I look up at the newest, brightest star
and everything I feel is still remembered
will last the distance no matter how near or far
Remember, mon cher, the words I wrote to you
they are imprinted on my soul forever
you reached out and touched my life in ways I cannot still explain
you are irreplaceable; you know that I will never
forget the codes and seemingly nonsensical ways of our communication
to anyone else that saw it; must have thought
who are these two; these poets; who do they think they are
but it does not matter; all that matters was that you taught
to look beyond the ordinary everyday things of our existence
to reach for stars into infinité
I am risen up to be a better person; little é and much more
you are infinite, mon cher ami …

BLOG POSTS returning in 2 weeks!
So when I said I was on the mend (like weeks ago) I apparently had no idea what I was talking about. It's alright though, I'm *actually* getting better this time around, and the timing is good since there's family visiting, which helps in taking care of things. By the time the next few weeks have passed I should be tossing posts up again with regularity.
I have the next few weeks off from blogging still, but if we're honest, I will probably end up doing a picture or two anyway at some point just because there's so much beautiful stuff coming out or that I've recently missed. We'll see.
In the meantime, here's a portrait I promised a friend, that took far too long for me to get to since I fell ill for a while there. I wish it was better too, but being sick on my back for two months or so means I was also two months without any practice, so I'm just not up to snuff again yet. She seems to like it though, and I don't mind the end result, so here it is.
Lilymunsters as Liliana Celeésonel, star elf and the younger (adopted) sister of my own moon elf, Senia. I've dubbed her the Ela'nadrii of the Stars. It's a nonsensical word that's meant to sound suitably nonsensically elvish and lovely at the same time. I dig it. lol <3
The calm waters of the gently flowing Elk River touch the mix of stone and concrete footings supporting an incongruous mess of motive power guiding KCS manifest train MSHKC2 17 through the karst topography of the Ozarks at Ginger Blue, MO, a scenically significant stretch of the train's trek from Shreveport to Kansas City. This one is officially down in the history books as the last MSHKC2 ever, as the following day's start would depart as M261--a result of systemwide modifications as KCS ditches their efficient, informative letter-based symbol system for a nonsensical jumble of numbers that don't mean anything to become seemingly more compatible with merger partner Canadian Pacific. So the fun begins, or something like that.
Be yourself.
....
Because I keep getting entangled.
It is nonsensical to do that.
Really nonsensical and not expedient.
I don't get any further with that ....and lose my energy and target.

Takk... ([ˈtʰaʰkː], Thanks...) is the fourth studio album by the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, first released in America by Geffen Records on 12 September 2005. Unlike its predecessor ( ), the album's lyrics are mostly in Icelandic, with occasional elements of Vonlenska ("Hopelandic"), a scat-like form of gibberish.
"Hoppa í polla" is Icelandic for "hopping into puddles", and the lyrics are mainly in Icelandic, with some nonsensical phrases.It is the band's most successful single, and it is considered the best-known song within the genre of post-rock.
Happy anniversary, Sigur Rós!

Yellow is the brightest hue of the spectrum, yellow is uplifting and enlightening, offering hope, happiness, cheerfulness and fun.
Blue is relaxing and calming, represents peace, harmony, contentment - and is the absolute favorite color of most people.
For us at the moment they are the colors of war, despair, fear, expulsion and death.
Hopefully, in the near future, these colors also convey these feelings us again.

On the ground floor of the house, sparkling trees laden with baubles illuminate whimsical and nonsensical displays inspired by ‘Looking-Glass’ such as a quirky ‘illogical’ room where glittering upside-down Christmas trees point disconcertingly to the floor. In the Stone Gallery, you’ll see a giant chess board where, in the story, Alice must play boldly to become a queen.
By now you’ve seen lots of Lisbon’s photos for sure, but these are relatively unsual (this is the first of a series). Their distinctive mark comes from the perspective, as they have been taken from a moving catamaran cruising the Tagus River. They were taken last year, on a beautiful summer day’s late afternoon.
As the boat was quite stable and there was no wind, in order to preserve lens quality images, I took the risk of shooting in aperture priority mode (the boat was moving…). You’ll judge whether that nonsensical risk was well rewarded or not…
Hope you enjoy them. Lisbon is beautiful and looking at it from the river provides completely different and quite unique views of the city.
In this first shot, you have “Padrão dos Descobrimentos” (the Monument of the Discoveries) with Mosteiro dos Jerónimos behind it, in the background. The 52-meter-high monument celebrates the 15 and 16th-century Portuguese explorers, who established Portugal as the most powerful seafaring nation of the era. The original Padrão dos Descobrimentos was constructed for the 1940 World Fair, as a wood and plaster structure, but the perishable materials meant it soon had to be dismantled. The current limestone, concrete and steel reincarnation dates from the 1960s, and commemorated 500 years since the death of Henry the Navigator (Infante Dom Henrique).
On the eastern side of the monument are statues of Portugal’s great explorers, while on the western side are the key supporters who empowered the 15th century’s “Age of Discovery”.

I went for a walk this morning along the cliff path in Solfa, Sir Benfro. It was rather windy, too much so to venture very intrepidly without appropriate gear. I took photographs of the world again for the first time in a little while, and returned to be grimly disappointed by the digital ones (for the film ones, we will wait and see, though I have little hope!) - blown out, dusty sensor, badly timed and framed. And yet, here we are, after turning to black and white and twiddling with light and shade, with an almost passable image. I am not much of a photoshop wizard - there is a bit of me that likes the 'straight from the negative' feel of photography, however nonsensical and erroneous that is. I will get better at it, when I have time.
In the meantime ...

El Sombrerero
El Sombrerero es un personaje de la novela Las aventuras de Alicia en el país de las maravillas, del escritor inglés Lewis Carroll. Este personaje también se conoce como el Sombrerero Loco, aunque en la obra de Carroll nunca se le llama así. La confusión probablemente proviene del hecho de que el Gato de Cheshire le advierte a Alicia que el Sombrerero está loco, lo cual se confirma por la conducta excéntrica del Sombrerero. Además, el capítulo donde aparece el Sombrerero se titula "Una merienda de locos". El Sombrerero aparece nuevamente en la secuela de la obra, llamada A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí, con el nombre Hatta, uno de los mensajeros del Rey Blanco.
En el programa televisivo Aunque usted no lo crea de Ripley (Believe it or not), de la década de 1980, se hace referencia al personaje del Sombrerero, y se explica que, en la época de Carroll, los sombreros se fabricaban empleando mercurio. Al hacerlo en espacios cerrados, con frecuencia inhalaban los vapores de este metal, lo que provocaba trastornos a la salud (envenenamiento por mercurio) que fácilmente podrían describirse como locura.
La fabricación de sombreros era el principal comercio en Stockport, un pueblo cerca de donde creció Carroll, y no era raro ver a los sombrereros parecer perturbados o confundidos. Sin embargo, el Sombrerero no exhibe los síntomas típicos de envenenamiento por mercurio, que incluyen "timidez excesiva, pérdida de confianza en sí mismo, ansiedad y deseo de permanecer inadvertido."
En las ilustraciones se muestra una tarjeta en el sombrero que dice "10/6". Es el precio del sombrero que era diez chelínes y seis peniques. En sistema decimal, equivale a 52½ libras.
Versión de Tim Burton
Interpretado por Johnny Depp en la película 'Alicia en el país de las maravillas' (2010) de Tim Burton difiere de la versión original del cuento en muchos aspectos. Su nombre real es Tarrant Hightopp, perteneciente al clan Hightopp dedicado a la fabricación de sombreros. Es un hombre muy dulce y alegre que gusta de las fiestas de té. Expresa abiertamente sus emociones. Sus cambiantes estados de ánimo también son literalmente reflejados en sus ojos que varían de color según lo que siente. Incluso las coloridas manchas de su rostro ennegrecen cuando está enfadado. Ha estado esperando ansiosamente el regreso de Alicia, y, según palabras de Alicia, es su más querido y verdadero amigo. Él que cree en ella cuando nadie más lo hace y viceversa. Es intrépido, valiente, noble y leal, capaz de hacer lo imposible por proteger a Alicia aún a riesgo propio. Es habilidoso espadachín e incluso utiliza sus utensilios de costura como armas en la pelea. El Sombrerero Loco antes era el orgulloso fabricante de sombreros de la Reina Blanca, pero el mercurio utilizado en la fabricación de sombreros acabó por envenenarlo, y ahora no está del todo en sus cabales. Esto queda en evidencia en medio de una conversación, donde tiende a perder el hilo de sus ideas y a divagar sin control hasta que alguien le llame la atención. Su locura pasa a convertirse en una especie de doble personalidad que puede tornarse peligrosa si esta entra en ira y, al mismo tiempo, su acento cambia y empieza a hablar en idioma "outlandish". En la secuela llamada Alicia a través del espejo (2016), el sombrerero loco recuerda a su familia, así que decide pedirle ayuda a Alicia (Mia Wasikowska) para ver si ella puede decirle o hacer algo para encontrar a su familia.

The Hatter
The Hatter is a fictional character in Lewis Carroll's 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He is very often referred to as the Mad Hatter, though this term was never used by Carroll. The phrase "mad as a hatter" pre-dates Carroll's works. The Hatter and the March Hare are referred to as "both mad" by the Cheshire Cat, in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in the sixth chapter titled "Pig and Pepper".
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The March Hare and the Hatter put the Dormouse's head in a teapot, by Sir John Tenniel.
The Hatter character, alongside all the other fictional beings, first appears in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In it, the Hatter explains to Alice that he and the March Hare are always having tea because when he tried to sing for the foul-tempered Queen of Hearts, she sentenced him to death for "murdering the time", but he escapes decapitation. In retaliation, Time (referred to as "he" by the Hatter) halts himself in respect to the Hatter, keeping him stuck at 6:00 pm (or 18:00) forever.
When Alice arrives at the tea party, the Hatter is characterised by switching places on the table at any given time, making short, personal remarks, asking unanswerable riddles and reciting nonsensical poetry, all of which eventually drives Alice away. The Hatter appears again as a witness at the Knave of Hearts' trial, where the Queen appears to recognise him as the singer she sentenced to death, and the King of Hearts also cautions him not to be nervous or he will have him "executed on the spot".
Through the Looking-Glass
The character also appears briefly in Carroll's 1871 Through the Looking-Glass, the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, under the name "Hatta" – alongside the March Hare under the name "Haigha", which is pronounced "hare". Sir John Tenniel's illustration depicts Hatta as sipping from a teacup as he did in the original novel. Alice does not comment on whether Hatta is the Hatter of her earlier dream.
~ photo taken from indoors, though a glass door at night,
the light trails are from (light lit) water droplets on the glass door outside
the movement was purposeful . . . as i liked the effect :)
the light source (from the white streaks) is from headlights shining through some 'cut-outs' in our fence outside (at night ). . . [a link below to see what what i mean about 'cut-outs' in our fence, if your interested] :)
note: after reading this back to myself, it's just as i thought . . .
the explanation of how the photo came to be sounds nonsensical . . . but is what it is . . .
i guess it's one of those "you had to be there" scenarios :)

[ Gorge Week: Day 2 ] - (2 of 2)
The Z seems to activate the rocket boosters the days I need it to slow down, and takes a nap in the Blues the days I need it to gain some time. Generally speaking, it’s pretty trusty.
Based on its arrival time into Green River the night before, I can figure out if it’s worth shooting the next day in the Gorge or if it will miss the proper light window. It leaves Global II Northlake as ZG2BR Monday-Wednesday, and ZG2BRB Thursday-Sunday, the latter of which usually operates an hour or two behind the midweek version as a result of working North Platte. I decided this one would be proper, and boy was he cooking, but I was happy to chase.
God forbid the merger actually goes through, these Tier 4 ACe’s could be on the chopping block. Why you may ask? Well, the unfortunate part about these lies in the hands of the EPA and our nonsensical government. In 2004, the EPA established Tier 4 emissions guidelines, which were to be phased in from 2008-2015. They called for the increased reduction of PM (particulate matter) and NOx (nitrous oxide) over previous standards. In order to meet these standards, the new diesels being produced had to use a fancy process to reduce all this PM and NOx, which as I understand it, meant using a process called EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) where the spent exhaust is recirculated during combustion to lower combustion temperatures. Therefore, more diesel must be spent to keep the power output up to compensate for the lower combustion temperatures. Correct me if I messed this up.
The result is an increase of somewhere between 3-6% in fuel consumption and a complicated maintenance schedule. In a never ending war started by a management team destined to inflict death by a thousand expense reductions, these could be an easy target. Like all T4 technology, they are hard to work on, and as far as I am aware they still don’t have the necessary resources to work on them properly. On the flip side, all the particulate reduction technology seems to keep these and the T4 GEVOs fairly clean, which of course matters to absolutely nobody except us foamers. Go figure. Until tomorrow?

This image was prompted by a sleazy insurance commercial I spotted on TV the other day. The shill pretended to recount the great experience he had with this particular company when he phoned them. "I called and an actual person took my call ! " Ten years ago that would have been a seriously nonsensical comment; but now, in the age of the automated attendant, it's a rarity to get a living, breathing, human being on the line....especially when you're calling for customer support. : )) Store cashiers also seem to be going the way of the dinosaurs as Self Check Out machines proliferate. Not to say that automation hasn't any advantages because it clearly does, but like they say....you CAN have too much of a good thing. : ((
Best viewed LARGE.
A bizarre mix of elements made by the smoky sunset, somewhat jarring and seemingly nonsensical. Straight from the cam. I later learned from some indigenous girls riding their horses there was a fire nearby and the reservation was under evacuation notice. After I talked to them I watched a poor black bear running from the smoke. I was worried about where I was spending the night as I am very allergic to smoke, driving 4 more hours was a good call.
Horseshoe Curve is an icon, a feat of engineering, a strategical component of Norfolk Southern's extensive network in the east. Elementally, it's a little more than a half circle, plain and simple--220-some odd degrees arced around a diameter spanning in excess of 1,200' with an offset of 9.25" at the midpoint of every 62' chord length. Nonsensical geometry to some, but in this gibberish of numbers resides 16+ decades of history and lore plus a dramatic spectacle for every traversal of a train around one of its several main tracks. This most celebrated location on the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad, perhaps the most famous curve in all of railroading, circumvolves trains around both ridges bordering Kittanning Run west of Altoona, easing the Pennsy's westward crossing of the Alleghenies to surmountable grades not exceeding 2%. Though the Pennsy is long gone and one of its four famous lanes has been nixed, Horseshoe Curve continues to support major tonnage, exceeding 100 MGT per calendar year, as a focal point on Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line, continuing its purpose of serving as a vital artery in the conveyance of goods from the Midwest to the east. This time, its 25V's turn to take center stage, immersing the vivid valley of Kittanning Run with the sonic pounding of FDL horsepower dragging their containerized payload from Jersey to Chi-town towards the top of the mountain at Gallitzin. Once the engines pass, the throaty exhaust racket will defer to the piercing screech of metal-to-metal contact as the conical tread of each wheel loses the ability to steer through the tightly bent strips of iron and the flanges are pressed into action against the gauge face of the rail. A pitch perfect performance in mountain railroading, no doubt.
Riddle me this: when is a stationery store not a stationery store? Answer: when it's an ice cream store. I guess the owners decided to burn the stationery and go into a more profitable line of work--who uses stationery these days anyway, and who doesn't like ice cream?
Riddle me this: why has Flickr inflicted us with this nonsensical notification system? It's practically unusable. Don't let them kid you--it's not to improve the customer experience. It's to somehow improve the bottom line. Another example of the American plutocracy at work.

The Scapegoating Pattern (March 24–March 29, 2024)
-- cac.org/daily-meditations/the-scapegoating-pattern-weekly...
Sunday
Human nature, when seeking power, wants either to play the victim or to create victims of others. Once we start feeling sorry for ourselves, we will soon find someone else to blame, accuse, or attack—and with impunity!
—Richard Rohr
Monday
If Jesus’s life reversed the fate of victims he had met, then his death reverses the fate of future victims. He becomes the scapegoat to end all scapegoats—and exposes the truth that could end human blame and violence once and for all.
—Jennifer Garcia Bashaw
Tuesday
The central message of Jesus on love of enemies, forgiveness, and care for those at the bottom was supposed to make scapegoating virtually impossible and unthinkable.
—Richard Rohr
Wednesday
Because God was present with Jesus on the cross and thereby refused to let Satan and death have the last word about his meaning, God was also present at every lynching in the United States…. The lynching tree is the cross in America. —James Cone
Thursday
Jesus came to reveal and resolve the central and essential problem—humanity’s tendency toward fear and hate. Love is the totally enlightened, entirely nonsensical way out of this pattern. Love has to be worked toward, received, and enjoyed.
—Richard Rohr
Friday
God is not revealed in killing and conquest … in violence and hate. God is revealed in this crucified man—giving of himself to the very last breath, giving and forgiving.
—Brian McLaren
This is for my dear friends, all good people everywhere, and for my recovery.
But...to all the lunatics out there, go to hell, I'm sick of nonsense people, and tired of receiving nonsensical and personal comments from persons who think themselves and their rude messages 'clever'. I've no place for you.
i know i promised no more holiday shots, but i really liked this one.
kind of abstract and nonsensical to me.

Su locura pasa a convertirse en una especie de doble personalidad que puede tornarse peligrosa si esta entra en ira y, al mismo tiempo, su acento cambia y empieza a hablar en idioma "outlandish". En la secuela llamada Alicia a través del espejo (2016), el sombrerero loco recuerda a su familia, así que decide pedirle ayuda a Alicia (Mia Wasikowska) para ver si ella puede decirle o hacer algo para encontrar a su familia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatter_(Alice%27s_Adventures_in_Wonderland)
The Hatter is a fictional character in Lewis Carroll's 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He is very often referred to as the Mad Hatter, though this term was never used by Carroll. The phrase "mad as a hatter" pre-dates Carroll's works. The Hatter and the March Hare are referred to as "both mad" by the Cheshire Cat, in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in the sixth chapter titled "Pig and Pepper".
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The March Hare and the Hatter put the Dormouse's head in a teapot, by Sir John Tenniel.
The Hatter character, alongside all the other fictional beings, first appears in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In it, the Hatter explains to Alice that he and the March Hare are always having tea because when he tried to sing for the foul-tempered Queen of Hearts, she sentenced him to death for "murdering the time", but he escapes decapitation. In retaliation, Time (referred to as "he" by the Hatter) halts himself in respect to the Hatter, keeping him stuck at 6:00 pm (or 18:00) forever.
When Alice arrives at the tea party, the Hatter is characterised by switching places on the table at any given time, making short, personal remarks, asking unanswerable riddles and reciting nonsensical poetry, all of which eventually drives Alice away. The Hatter appears again as a witness at the Knave of Hearts' trial, where the Queen appears to recognise him as the singer she sentenced to death, and the King of Hearts also cautions him not to be nervous or he will have him "executed on the spot".
Through the Looking-Glass
The character also appears briefly in Carroll's 1871 Through the Looking-Glass, the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, under the name "Hatta" – alongside the March Hare under the name "Haigha", which is pronounced "hare". Sir John Tenniel's illustration depicts Hatta as sipping from a teacup as he did in the original novel. Alice does not comment on whether Hatta is the Hatter of her earlier dream.

The weekend begins here (at least for me) - have a great one!
Also, the Shake It App will make multiple frames around any given photo - it will create a kind of "xerox fade" after enough repetition. . . fun. wacky. nonsensical. fun!
I believe time travel is possible but not what we read in science fiction books or have seen in the movies. The difference here is not the belief that anyone can go back in time to change anything, that is silly and nonsensical arrogance. We can learn from the past, but we can’t change it.
C.S. Lewis tells us that we are in Time, constrained by time and space but that God is not in Time. What we call yesterday or tomorrow is visible to Him the same way we call today.
Someday we will all pass on to our next adventure beyond the limitations and sorrows of our temporary home. When that time comes, I will find myself in the presence of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Will I then no longer be constrained by Time? The book of Proverbs tells us that Wisdom was the first of His works where she was continuously by God’s side at Creation, “…filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.”
I believe we can all share that delight and witness the forces that created the Heavens and Earth, you just have to believe.

You know it's your Friday (actually, your Saturday) when you make a fool of yourself by wearing a silly island hat over your cap and by stuffing your pocket with all sorts of crap. Where is Carmen Miranda when you need her?!
Note: Part of my Krayzee Toosday set. Crazy, bordering on the whimsical, funny, cute, silly, absurd, nonsensical, dark, and the questionable.
Along with the adult Cormorant, I was able to capture a youngster as well. I expect that mom was keeping a close eye on him. Never quite captured the pair in a decent shot. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.
My apology for my outburst about Explore today. They first put the Pelican Duo in Explore yesterday and I managed to bounce it out of there by switching the settings between Public and Family & Friends. It doesn’t work all the time. After that it wasn’t long before the pathetic algorithm moved the gator shot into Explore. It’s just a bunch of nonsensical garbage as fare as I am concerned. Let’s hope that the bozo’s in charge will leave this one out of the loop. Sickening!!

This is the first time that I've ever taken THREE consecutive shots that turned out to be synchronised. The shots were taken at the limit of my zoom lens too and fairly unbelievably, I couldn't see what I was taking as the sun was shining on my screen. It would seem nonsensical not to upload all three photos together, one after the other.
Here's some old and new things I want to say for selfish marketing purposes:

One thing leads to another, as they say, and I have no idea why I decided to create this concoction, other than by listening to The Beatles 'I Am The Walrus' song, where John Lennon's vivid imagination conjures up deliberately nonsensical, and very descriptive, surreal images.
Time to play along on a different instrument, I thought...:-)).

Normally I only post my off-cuts to Instagram, but I really, really like this one, and it was both taxing and fun to edit, so it is here too. Actually, I like this one so much that it was almost Sunday's photo. Alas, the other photo was the whole point of the trip to the beach.
But, if you did not know that I frequently post my off-cuts to Instagram, then this is me saying 'hey, go check them out if you want to see more of my photos and read more of my (often nonsensical) ramblings'. They nearly always have my train of thought at the time of posting it with it. For example:
If it turns out that I cannot follow my dreams, that every avenue is blocked and my last road to the Negev closes, I want to get a job and save up to buy an old, crumbling house by the beach, surrounded by sand-dunes, away from civilisation. I want to wake up to the sound of the sea and the smell of salt, and I want to spend my days with my camera in my hand and the sand between my toes. I want to have shutters on the windows and I want the paint to be peeling on the woodwork. I can visualise it. I can see the windswept landscape and the sandy path that leads down to the sea; I can hear the waves crashing and the sea-shell wind chime. This is my backup plan. If all else fails, this is what I shall do. Because I do not want to be stuck, for the rest of my life, in houses that have no character.

It meanders through the minutes
that quickly turn the hours
passed a sluice of 'regulation'
that stems the flow of our freedoms
banked up inside us all
is the childhood of yore
freeflow need not be damned
but respected in all it's variance
if we are what we truly believe we are,
and that has become debatable,
then we should restore balances
as nature has always overidden our faults
nonsensical laws made by despicable fools
need no adherance by the free
and the free, the child in us all
is the adult from our very next step.

"Self-preservation is the first law of nature." - Samuel Butler

Every May thousands of tulips pop up around Ottawa to take part in the annual tulip festival. Normally these flowers show up in large clusters around city parks, in planters on popular streets and on Parliament hill.
But every year the squirrels do some gardening of their own and decide to transplant some of the bulbs.
I think these rogue tulips are my favourite part of the festival. They're random and nonsensical. You never know where you'll happen to catch a glimpse of a random pop of colour.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
