Tulips at Dusk

Last week I sort of obsessed on tulips. I shot them during a morning walk with my granddaughter as well as in the evening while walking alone. This was taken at sunset in Portland, as was the previous post.

Vintage Clothing Store Tulips

Pink is the color of the day. Vintage Clothing on Capital Hill & two-nearly blossoming tulips (revisited from a previous post).

Tulips to be

Tulips to be. It has just been too cold this Spring. The tulips are about two weeks behind, in terms of when they usually bloom. I think this coming week will be the blossoming moment. These were shot in the Capital Hill area of Seattle today.

A lovely bouquet. Friday is Skywatch day around the blogosphere. Thought I would offer Friday Flowers instead. Bouquet

Two more examples of plants from the conservatory. Cactus pedal seems to be carefully cradling a large droplet of water ( not put there by me ). The blue background foliage on the other plant seems to somehow carry over to the yellow leaf of the above plant.

Early morning dew.

One of the first flowers to bloom in our yard. This flower resides in our rainwater garden.

: Hanging buds about to blossom.

: About to blossom

Red seems to be the theme for this posting. The variety in nature amazes me. The different structural elements of each plant seem endless.

Sneaky Gardens

: Unusual Garden Spaces

Garden spaces between these buildings seems a bit odd as they probably only get an hour of sunlight each day. Then again, this is Seattle where our sun exposure is measured in hours per year rather than days. I guess you plant shade plants that like their privacy.

Tuesday Blues Blues from a conservatory. The missing track from Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue?

: Behind Bars

Visited the Volunteer Park Conservatory, in Seattle, today. Was a cool, grey day so shooting indoors made sense. Some of the flowers are just starting to bloom. It seemed odd to see this beautiful flower, in bloom, behind bars. I understand the public can’t be trusted, but seems a shame. I’m sure I will be posting more images from my time in the conservatory.
