Tulips

I love the cheerful bright colors of tulips.
This is another "taken after-work supermarket flower shot". with my cell phone.

Someday the tulips in my garden will know it is finally Spring, and will hopefully bloom soon. (If Monday's snow on May day didn't freeze them).

This is a long but good quote:

“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different than anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.”

Lovely shot and well spotted for the half and half theme.

@fbailey Thanks. Its the combo I fall back on quite often. When it's after work and I still don't have a photo for the day :)

@mbrutus hahaha. Thanks :)

To answer your question:
Maybe cheerfully? Or... bravely - but with hesitation considering this Spring's confusing weather.

@megpicatilly Thanks Catherine. I'm sure the people at the grocery store wonder who's the crazy lady taking pictures of flowers every week. and never buying any of them. hahah
