One has to marvel at Mother Nature here. These tulips were photographed at the Bowral Tulip Festival last Spring, 2008.
Mr J, my sister and I spent the weekend browzing the gardens and even after hours of photographs, lunch and more browzing, one never grows tired of the colours that are brought to life in each picture.
It poured rain all day as well but that did not stop me from taking it all in; such perfect shapes and spectacular colourings. Should you get the chance to go this year, I would strongly recommend it.
A sensitive tulip in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like petals to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant," 1820.
Here's cheers everyone
