The simple beauty of spring tulips

Posted on by

I have been in Virginia for less than 48 hours yet it has been enough time for me to go absolutely crazy enjoying the rebirth of nature and the flowers abound. I am concerned that I have become a tad bit obsessive but the spring flowers here are so spectacular that I can hardly stand it. So here it is. An entire post on the sensational flowers I saw today in a garden in Colonial Williamsburg. Hope you enjoy!

      Thanks Kathy! I’ve become a bit fanatical about flowers lately! But then again, I always go crazy in the spring! I love it!

  4. It’s the hardest thing about living in the heart of Shenzhen, the absolute absence of nature. These shots are lovely, but they made me a little sad too – I think it’s time to move somewhere a little nicer.

      I can’t imagine not having any nature! Even when I lived in Chicago, there was Lincoln Park and the lakefront right outside my doorstep and a year in Paris was spectacular given all the parks. Minneapolis seems like the perfect place right now for me as where else can you live in a city, run right outside your door around a lake and see a bald eagle while the planes are landing? Crazy! Nature is so important! I hope you find some soon! 🙂

      Thanks! Mine too! I can’t believe how beautiful they are in full bloom. That is why I went so crazy taking the pictures and had to put every single one on the post. Couldn’t leave a single one out!

      I love flowers! I just am not good at growing them like you! Someday I hope to have an amazing garden! It can be done, even in MN. I’ve seen some spectacular ones.
