Delight For The Senses

More today of the tulips at Dow's Lake. 

The path led me past some bushes and plants, among which were tulips.

The next bed beckoned.

And then the next one, starting with a mix of white tulips and purple tulips that at a distance look black.

A River Of Tulip Colours

 The tulips drew me onwards.

This bed, with colours side by side, has the look of a flowing river.

Across the path, a mix of purple, red, yellow, and orange.

Shimmering Flowerbeds

 I continued on with my walk, photographing more tulips.

Note the two tulips at the edge- the work of squirrel gardeners, or bulbs left in the ground from the previous year?

Rise Of The Tulip Paparazzi

 I returned to Dow's Lake during the week during the Tulip Festival, as generally speaking it's easier to photograph without the crowds around. I started again at the northwest entrance to Commissioners Park with this beautiful bed.

The Tulip Paparazzi, of whom I am a ranking member, was out and about.

I always look for opportunities to photograph the tulips from ground level, and this bed, with its accompanying muscari, is good for that.
