Tulips by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Tulips

My get pushed challenge from Kali was to be inspired by a poem or line from a novel.

I'm a bit of a poetry Philistine, I always skip poems in novels, especially if they don't rhyme!

So Kali I hope you don't mind my twist, I looked for a poem about something in front of me, and found Tulips by Sylvia Plath . She's at least a poet I've heard of anyway!!

Also loosely inspired by some of the tulips by Robert Mapplethorpe

My pocketful of joy today is being well enough to dismantle the indoor decorations, lob the tree out of the patio door and the bonus of getting what I planned here with my Big Camera.
Lovely

I love how the seventh tulip is out doing its own thing. Makes the photo interesting.

It's a lovely capture of the tulips in low light. You don't keep your Christmas up until the 6th? And I like that term about being a philistine. I am much the same way about a lot of culture and arts. Must be my leaning toward science.

Glad you are feeling better. I was looking through Mapplethorpe’s flower photos today and immediately thought of them looking at this. You did very well and your lighting is perfection.

Great capture. Glad you’re feeling better. I’m a bit of a poetry philistine myself!
