When spring arrives, I take far more shots than I can post. I've erased most of them, with the exception of these bright beauties! I was drawn to these particular shots because of the play of sun and shadows on their little faces.

"Consider the flowers of the field - they don't toil or work, yet Solomon in all his glory wasn't clothed like one of these!" (Matt 6:28-29)

Beautiful! Love the last one. We only have one tulip out so far. SunFlower1990 · 2010-04-11: 17:13
