Today, May the 4th [as in: "... be with you"], started with the rather whimsical act of a photo of my current vaseful of tulips to the first email sent -
and somehow the photo also got attached to the next email I wrote, and the next. Suddenly it's International Send Tulips Day!
Now I must shut down the computer, so here are those tulips for blog readers who don't have an email waiting for a reply.
A little chain reaction has started, as people respond that they are about to send tulips to someone else. Who knows, this little "day" might take on a life of its own.
I love having tulips at home, and photographing tulips ... here are a few more, as the tulip season draws to an end.

The tulips are beautiful. I think I told you before that I cannot have tulips in my yard because the deer eat them. I miss not having any so I will just have to enjoy your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI adore tulips and now have so many photos of them, I think I'll make up a book to look at when waiting for next year's!
ReplyDeleteoh I wish I could take tulips to somebody, but our tulips are weeks in the past. we had a nice little batch of them, which made me a beautiful vase full. when they got old I asked for a refill but the deer had eaten every one of them overnight.
ReplyDeletenow we're into iris, which are beautiful.
I love the photos with the stacks of books in the background. A learned place where nature's beauty briefly resides.
