Finally...

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made 

and forgot to put a soul into.

Henry Ward Beecher

I think spring has made it's way to Kansas City!  Yeah!!  The poor tulips in our yard.  They have already weathered cold temps, frost and 2 hail storms.  The leaves look a little worn out, but the blooms are finally coming out quite beautifully.

This tulip picture is one of the tulips that were planted 6 years ago.  They are few in numbers now, but still as beautiful as the first year they were planted.  

Above is the same tulip with an effect applied in photoshop.  Just having fun.
