Following on from my last post, where I referenced the fact that I had no longer been seeing the beauty around me, here is solid evidence that I was seeing it. And I was photographing it as I found when I went back through my catalogue. I must have just lost focus in the humdrum of the everyday that takes over our lives. So for a Throwback Thursday (not very far back, admittedly) here is a splash of bright spring colour from our garden. Aren’t these delightful? Have a great day, friends.
These are in my Flower a Day gallery (which is not a daily thing, you now realize) which you can see here: https://www.elliekennard.ca/ekgallery/flower-a-day-2024/
Two tulips, two lips two-getherness. The world needs more of this.
Thanks, Ellie, for the beautiful reminder.
Bonsoir Ellie,
Je n’ai pas vu de tulipes cette année. Merci beaucoup. Elles sont magnifiques.
Bisous
Merci, mon amie! C’est avec grand plaisir que je les partage avec toi!
Bisous.

I always love the way you capture the details on the petals of the different flowers. Even the beauty of the flower before it fully opens. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you so much, Linda. I confess that I’m not as steady as I once was. So it’s a bit challenging to get everything that I want in focus, at times, especially with this lens which doesn’t have auto focus. So I have to keep trying!
Thanks again.
My two favourite flower colours, white and pink wrapped into one. So pretty.
Thank you, I agree, those colours are so soft and pleasing. And those slightly frilled petals…
Very nice tulips and nicely captured
I can understand how one misses seeing beauty “if” it is just the “same old usual things”. Your eye and brain don’t necessarily see them in the same light as when a new unique something comes along.
But the beauty is still there
Isn’t that so true, Jim? It’s always there. It’s we who fail to see it. Sometimes. Until we do. Thanks for the comment and thought.
