Drenched in Joy

Ah springtime how I love thee!

After getting a kick in the pants yesterday from a 365 friend who noticed that my glumness was coming though in my images, I set out to try to capture joy today. And wouldn't you know it was pouring rain today. I laughed at the irony.

I almost titled this shot Tears on my Tulips, but that would have been keeping with my melancholy theme. No, instead these tulips are drenched in joy. I, too, am drenched in joy, as my joy lies much deeper than how I am feeling on any given day. My Joy is from the true source of Joy who gives it freely to all who seek it and ask.

May we all be drenched in JOY today!

Beautiful capture of this fantastic tulip. I'm sure you are really enjoying spring.

Smashing splash of colour - I hadn't noticed your glumness at all!
April 15th, 2013  
@steampowered Shew, glad it hadn't been too obvious. I had a couple people ask me about it after my image a few days ago where my daughter had thrown my flowers in a lake.
April 15th, 2013  
@amandal I thought that was really cute and just the sort of thing a child would do (I would have done!)
April 15th, 2013  
@steampowered I totally agree. It was pretty cute and hilarious. I loved that she did that and had to capture it.
