Laura E. Swan level-classic April 18, 2008

Hi Stan. I wish they were my yard tulips. They were compliments of SOBEYS! These flowers were so lovely and bright that I took a whole series of them. It was so sad to see them die less than a week later.

At our old house however the tulip greens are up about 6 or 7 inches already. Unreal. That yard had a lot of sun. I do so much miss my perennials there and the rock garden that I made. My Father in Law lives there now at the old house so I am there weekly to see my old DIGS! Ha! :)

So, Thank you both Stan and Annette! Appreciate you commenting. :) #5802331

Hi Brother R., Tammy and Teresa!!!

YES! I do think he will need them. IN FACT...HEY...Wait a minute! They are gone from the center of the flower now!

This was fun to shoot. The natural lighting from the morning sun was just right! It gave him a "show shine" ! See it??? HA!

Have wonderful evenings! I have been gone a lot lately I know...Sorry. Been very busy.

Thank you so much for all you said.
