Tulips in bloom
The 2013 Tulip Festival starts today Saturday and will be open for at least the next 2 weeks. I stopped and shot some flowers yesterday and this years crop is wonderful. I understand the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn OR is also well underway, so dust off your gear and get out. This is one image from yesterday morning.

Larger version available, thanks for stopping!

Fine shot, Craig! Good color and detail in subject and nice separation from bg supporting cast. Yay, tulip time!!

Very nice colors and glow Craig. I really like the "brush strokes" at the edges of the petals.

Good shot Craig! Excellent light, colors and detail. I gotta get out to the fields this year!
