These shots are from the tulip beds on the northwest end of Commissioners Park.
Across from the park, these orange tulips can be found near a building housing offices for a naval reserve unit; the building can be seen in the background, and is relatively new.
I liked the interplay of the statue and the tulips behind it on this property, with late afternoon sunlight shining from the west.
Your first two photos are lovely, William!
ReplyDeleteThe tulip colours are so beautifully displayed - noticeable in the third photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the way some of the displays change colours as you walk by.
ReplyDeleteIncroyable displays William, like your perspective in first and second shots!
ReplyDeleteI love the double tulips in your first two pictures.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous pictures. It's like a dreamland!
ReplyDeleteMeus olhos não se cansam de admirar estas paisagens tão exuberantes
ReplyDeleteUm ótimo final de semana
Um abraço
@Linda: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Gemma: they are indeed.
@Bill: they do, depending on the light.
@Grace: thanks!
@Jan: I think Miranda may be one of my favourite shots of the year.
@Tamago: it is!
@Gracita: thanks!
Your photos are as delightful as their subject matter. Miranda is an especially good shot!
ReplyDeleteThey're all so beautiful. Love the names.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a bit to get your title Miranda meets diana. It's a good title. The tulips seem to be at their peak at this time.
ReplyDeleteDelightful dawdling William!
ReplyDeleteThose "frilly" tulips in the first shots are quite unique.
ReplyDeleteSchöne Tulpen in den unterschiedlichen Farben.

Dang! I'm just trying to imagine one guy out there with his little tulip planter planting each one of those bulbs. :-)
ReplyDelete@Lowell: and it's a name I'm fond of!
ReplyDelete@Norma: so do I.
@Red: it seemed appropriate. The Diana tulips were looking good a few days after I took these shots.
@Cloudia: very delightful!
@Sharon: they really stood out to me.
@Noke: thanks!
@Revrunner: fortunately they do these in crews. One person would take a whole lot too much time.
Beautiful selection, William!
ReplyDeleteThe Miranda tulips are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe Mirandas look like poppies. The statue makes a good grand finale!

Heaven's they are all superb.
ReplyDelete@RedPat: thank you.
ReplyDelete@Marleen: they certainly are.
@Janis: I liked it. I don't get out that way too often, so this had been the first time I noticed it. The property belongs to some sort of spa, if I recall.
@Mari: thank you!
That is a lot of tulips! Nice photos of them also.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYes, lovely. Eye candy!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
