Tulips and Festival Opening
Finally....... the Tulips of the Pacific Northwest begin awakening from our cold extended and rainy winter. This beauty captured last weekend at the Woodland WA Tulip Festival and is one of many varieties on display. While the display garden has many varities opening now, another week or two should have all blooms open and at their peak.

Nice positioning, Craig. This sets the anticipation for full blooms quite nicely. That Macro lens is sweet...I may have to breakdown... :jump:
