Red And Gold

The tulip beds at Commissioner's Park are the center of attention this time of year. Some of you might remember this portion of the park from last year.





Over at my writer's page today I'm paying tribute to the King Of The Blues.

    @Janis: that could take awhile.

    @Hilary: so do I!

    @Lois: thanks! I've been trying to photograph as many different varieties as I can. I do tend to photograph red a lot.

    @Tex: they definitely are.

    @Jane and Chris: they seem to work well mixed like that.

    @Birdman: there'll never be another one like him.
