Yesterday, even though it was blustery with periods of sunshine, my friend, Brenda, and I "tip-toed through the tulips". We went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm (www.woodenshoe.com) in Woodburn, Oregon, to see the first tulips blooming. It was fun to see these acres of tulips. Not all had bloomed. I especially had fun looking in the fields where multiple types of bulbs had been planted, which created rows of multi-colored tulips.
Carver, another blogger who takes very good photographs over at http://www.carverblog.blogspot.com/, usually takes photographs of flowers. I'm glad I brought my camera to take these photos because I thought Carver might like to see them. Unfortunately, I don't think my point and click-style of photography will do justice to the flowers . . . but hopefully she likes them nonetheless!
We also literally tip-toed through this field - because of some recent rain, the fields were pretty muddy. Afterwards, we devoured a large bag of popcorn - who'd-a-thunk walking through tulips would make us so hungry? It was a good day - change of scenery was fun! I bought some seeds for flowers - not sure just where I'm going to put them.

I think you got some good shots of the tulips. Great job! I love tulips and like the variety in the field. The yellow one with red highlights is so cool.
Thanks, Carver! I tried. Yeah, I liked the yellow one with the red highlights . . . there was another one that turned out pretty nicely, too, I thought. It was the red one with the pointy tips and white stripes. I'm sure you could've figured out how to adjust for the light exposure - I think some may have been overexposed. The ones I took when the sun wasn't out turned out better color-wise.
