Very pretty, Marie!

[sparker1]

Very nice, Marie. Glad your spring has arrived with such a burst of beautiful color.

[Maureen Souza]

Woweeee, what a great pop of color!!! Very pretty Marie.

[cfcRebel]

They look like neon light bulbs, beautiful colors!

[stoneylonesome]

WOW! and the yellows are really yellow. :rolleyes: :lol: :lol: :lol: beautiful colours Marie. still to early for our tulips yet, we haven't even gotten our onelips :lol: :lol:

I love the red tulip with the swatch of yellow on it. How did you ever spot that one.

[RbrtPtikLeoSeny]

Omg! Those are beautiful! I can't believe you stumbled across such a beautiful gaurden of flowers. I've never seen anything like that! Great shots.

[Mills]

Beautiful Marie! The first one. WoW!

[Dante King]

As always, killer work Marie!

[marie]

thank you Frank and Stan, Maureen, cfcRebel, Sandy, Robert ?(RbrtPtikLeoSeny)Mills and Dante King .
I got a real surprise as I had not been to the forum since I posted them
thank you very much

they were a beautiful splash of colour right beside a busy street
traffic moving along all the time except that the cars/lorries stop just there behind me
at traffic lights
and I do feel a little uncomfortable taking shots like it ,
especially where people have time to sit and stare. in the comfort of their cars in this instance .
hope no one took one of me ....down on the ground almost
I can hear Sandy laughing. he takes the shots from the cars :lol:
(well he used to ..not now though and it shows ) ;)
Sandy, that yellow streak, thanks for noticing. as I am sure you all did.
it was a very special looking tulip
I thought it amazing .
it seemed as though the yellow tulips wanted to blend with the red
or even just reach out and touch it and ...did

isn't it just wonderful that people take the time and trouble to plant these bulbs . in a month when conditions are probably bitterly cold and wet.

very many thanks to all
glad you could see the beautiful flowers and colour.
their life is so brief yet they give so much joy and beauty.
we owe a lot to the people who go to the trouble (planting) in advance for our viewing pleasure when the winds can be at their coldest

Hey! I still take some of my best shots from the car :lol: :lol: :lol: Especially when I see someone bending over taking photos of flowers. oops! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :o :lol: :lol:

[IanBMW]

Great captures, but WOW does that first pic burn my eyes looking at it. Wonder what it would look like with the saturation taken down just a hair. Like the third pic, which btw looks gorgeous.

I was going to post some of my flower shots from yesterday in my own thread, but I suppose this one will work just fine too. These are from an Arboretum right down the road from my house. I think they turned out pretty well. Let me know what you think!!

Fantastic colours, Marie.

The first one is my favorite. But on the 2nd, the yellow stripe in the red tells the rest of the story as you say.

many thanks for showing them Doug
it must be beautiful to walk along there.... what a display http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif
they come and go so fast . it's very nice that you captured them
the tulips colours are more delicate shades then mine
beautiful colours
the hyacinths are gorgeous (2nd url)
they usually are planted in pots but look great displayed like that
