It's January somewhere

But here, it's more like July. It was 80 degrees F today and early this morning, my first tulip of the season bloomed in a pot on the front steps! Since today is my wedding anniversary, I consider this to be a special gift!

This gorgeous bloom is named Pink Impression and over the next few weeks, I'm hoping for a riot of color in the 20 or so pots I planted. I did up the contrast and saturation a bit on this shot.
Great macro.

It's January here, we've got it! Foggy, freezing and grey, so this colour is very welcome. Happy Anniversary to you Elizabeth!

@taffy Thanks Taffy! I used a piece of green wrapping paper for the background and was quite pleased with the result!
