Tulips (picture heavy)

I love tulips. My daughter, Laurie, got me tulips for Mother's Day and naturally I photographed them. And photographed them again. And again. I have a real sickness. Is there a twelve step program for excessive photo taking?

I personally think that the insides of tulips are even more beautiful than the outsides. They are like little clips from a kaleidoscope. Here are some of the 100's of photos that I took of the tulips. Some of these are soft focus and some are just plain out of focus, but I liked the outcome. Most of them are taken with macro or super macro settings.

I didn't upload them in any particular order or rearrange them to be in order.

There were three white ones. They were delicate and beautiful and almost translucent near the end of their time.
