Tulips at dawn

It's that time of year! Actually taken last year at about this time, a little later perhaps. I was trying for a "studio shot" of living tulips, therefore the staged BG (actually a piece of matboard) I returned to the same spot and shot images every half hour or so as they opened, that I will post next.
