London tulips – St Paul’s, April 2009
The first spring I spent in London, I was awestruck by the appearance of the tulips. Every flowerbed in the city that had appeared lifeless only a month prevously, exploded in a sea of vibrant colour, with shades varying from the most delicate lemon yellow to deep purple to this exuberant fountain of yellow and orange. I could not walk past a bed without taking a photo. Nine years on, nothing has changed 🙂

That’s a stunningly beautiful photo. Worthy of being enlarged, framed and hung.
Gorgeous! I love tulips too – I remember them being cheap to buy as great bunches of pretty pink or white, or scarlet and yellow, in the florists too. Thanks for reminding me!

It’s great that you still retain that same sense of wonder and appreciation even after 9 years– don’t ever change! 🙂
Such a lovely click, those tulips are so refreshing…
Jeanne, just because something is universally appealing, doesn’t mean it is not beautiful. It just means we all have really good taste. What a gorgeous pic.
