[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is for my friend, Mr JohnTulip who is such a great encourager, despite being the most photographed man on TL. I always appreciate hearing from your Johnny and many blessings to you today!
I took this on a rainy evening in Grapevine Texas. It's Tulip Time in Texas!
I'm sore today, I spend the day digging up my garden and planting flowers yesterday. Today, we plan to ride our bicycles over to Terry Hershey Park, do about 16 miles, then come home, clean up and head to church!
Have a great day!
linda

They are gorgeous and you did a great capture, the sun is hitting these at the right spot, even the hose nozzle looks good.
John will be very happy to get these.

It snowed all day yesterday, all night, and now I read your note and I'm thinking, I'm going to move to Texas!!! Such a pretty picture on a dreary horrible day like this. TFS

Hi Linda,
I love the color combination of red and black. It looked interesting with another green color to make the image merrier. Cheerful photo, Mr JT will surely love.

A great shot of these red tulips! John would be glad with them! Beautiful red and green colours an a good blurry bg!

In my upinion the big red letters are a little too much, but thats personal.
Now I am running for church too...

It is a long way from Tulips Time in Canada!! We still have snow on the lawns in my area; my daughter tells me that she can finally see the top of her barbecue (north of Ottawa)!
So this is refreshing!
superb colours, fine composition, lovely details

This is so pretty and Spring like, Linda. Things here are starting to poke their heads out, at last. The Tricia style frame is a lovley addition , to make the reds pop so well. Nice dedication, I am sure John will enjoy. Well done.
Warm Regards
Wanda

Hello Linda,

TFS
Sorina

Hello Linda
beautiful picture...
Magda

lovely tulips! shame ive never seen a real one. =) they look like cherries on the ground.

A nice dedication Linda, good colour and well composed. A softer image but suitably so. TFS,
David

Lin..
Darn I missed this yesterday Oh Lawdy what a nice tribute.
Lin..Tech talk:
The black frame (I like frames) give a contrasting view wich makes your compo even stronger.
Good choice, although many TL members dont like frames.
Again a creative photo and due to your F 4.5 the background is nicely faded out.
Thanks again Linda And let me add another Tulip to this bouquet ..
A Silver Tulip

Greetings and smile
John

Oh Lin this is so cool
What nice for our Johnny and gee, you realy know how to make a best seller,
but I agree with our JT, you are good
A hug and bye girl,
Joos

Hello Linda!
Lovely composition for John Tulip!!! ;)
Great colours, good light and beautiful frame, too!
Best regards!
Lili

...I return... :)

What a lovely tribute, Linda! Such vivid and well saturated colors. I like how you framed your shot. Very good focus and bokeh.
Cheers!

This is such a pretty photo! I LOVE tulips and you presented these in their most eloquent way. The colors are perfect along with the framing.
