This week's hunt for sky watch entry was quite difficult for me because I am currently running a FLORAL PARADE series thatI did not want to stop.
So last night (Wednesday here) I furiously browse through my many picture folders to scour for one that would be good for Skywatch.
And I stumbled upon this shot as I was watching Larry King interview Sarah Palin, I was doing double duty again. Anyway, I thought this shot had enough sky to clear the requirements for an entry, although the tulips is a frank give-away that it's a spring time snap. Then I remember some of our colleagues in the Skywatch group hail from land down under and isn't it still spring where they are?
So here's my entry for this week, my 20th, TULIPS UNDER THE SPRINGTIME SKY.
For more sky snaps from all over the world and/or to join this wonderful meme, visit Skywatch page. I forgot to extend my congratulations to Louise who joined the "board of directors" last week. I am really happy with that decision.

Happy swf!
Wonderful photo !
So glad you contined the run. This is inspired and so beautiful
I love this shot. Tulips against a soft blue sky are about as good as it gets. I also spy some poppies I believe which go so well with tulips.
beautiful flowers!!
have a nice weekend!!
Postcard Perfect!!
I will visit this lovely Sky Watch picture again, to see this Spring representation.
Some thing to look forward too, given that winter is about to cast gloom about.
Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic capture, love it.
Yep - I do believe I see the sky in there. Beautiful shot.
Oh! My friend! I like the design that you have chosen for your new blog. Congratulations by all the good photos that there are. In this one difruta much of all the colors of the flowers!
Beautiful shot.
I don't think it matters too much when the shot was taken. Or even where for that matter. Besides, I doubt anybody's going to give you any grief over a shot like this one!
I love tulips against the sky! We have too many obstructions here between sky and flowers. It is very cheery on this gray autumn day.
This is a gorgeous shot! The light on the flowers is fantastic.
Enough sky for me.
Flowers ae a perfect frame for photos of the sky and always brighten anyones day. Thanks for sharing this cheerful view of the sky with us all and thanks for your kind comments on my post earlier.
This photo rushes me forward to springtime and I love the flowers and all the colors too!!!
Great shot.
Tulips are always a good choice, I cannot but say this, because I am an inhabitant of a tulip country. Only I have to wait to march to see mine reappearing in my garden.
What a wonderful reminder of what awaits me in about 6 months after the snow!!! A beautiful Sky Watch!
No need to apologize about presenting that shot ? Angle and colors are perfect, and we all need, in North hemisphere, to have a little more sunlight before entering in winter.
(you were watching Sarah Palin! Wednesday? rerun? this is ancient history, now : )
beautiful shot! colors, composition...very nice!
My Skywatch entry is HERE!
Ahh What a lovely sight. It made me smile real big!!
Skywatch knows no seasonal requirements. This is perfect and oh so refreshing! The colors are magnificent!
those are some pretty flowers with the sky in the background, nice shot
This photo is so gorgeous and spectacular that I found myself just smiling to myself. I love love LOVE it!
The flowers are beautiful against that pure sky. No apology needed.
Nice perspective...those beautiful flower against the blue sky !
always love the light through the flower petals...great shot as the flowers look like they are standing at attention.

Wow very beautiful photo of the tulips. That's my favourite flower and pink and white are the best for my favourite tulips. :)
I wish to see tulips swaying in the wind, I often see cut ones. :(
This is a lovely photo. I enjoy the lovely Spring flowers.

So wonderful to see Tulips this grand in November! Right on!
PC: Not only enough sky an abosolutely wonderful sky with the tulips.
Bee-yoo-ti-ful! Tulips are my favorite flowers.
truly worth a thousand words. i can see that you're really enjoying your time there.
I loved the tulips!
Dreamy...I would love to lose myself in this garden. Love the sunlight in the picture.
I love tulips. They are very simple flowers, but pretty. Love the angle of the photo, as well. Did you lay on the ground to take it? LOL
I love the way you shot that picture! The tulips look beautiful against that pretty sky.
wow. the colors are so vibrant. nothing could be better than this photo. it's like coming out from the pages of a garden magazine. great job.
my little sister who is also browsing with me asked me if she can eat these flowers 'coz she said it looked like toppings of cake. really, really pretty.
Unique perspective of the sky :)
The colours and the perspective are awesome.
Wow that's is a superb photo
I like your tulips reaching for the sky. :-) All of the flower photos are really nice.
I look forward to see those again.
Wow, what a shiny blue sky behind the tulips! I like that a lot!
Nice combo of the floral and sky themes. I like he colors of the flowers.
Wow! I would really love to have a bigger picture of it for my desktop background!
Fantastic. =)
Gorgeous sky -- gorgeouser foreground ( I had to invent a word)
It's just wonderful to see such a lovely springtime scenery! Great picture.
Beautiful photo. Love the vibrant oranges, purples and white of the flowers against the blue blue sky.
How wonderful to have a glimpse of spring again! This was a WONDERFUL choice for a grey November day, thank you thank you thank you! LOL
It's a lovely photo anytime.
Great flower and sky.
Where do you live. I hunted for a just a sec on your blog an didn't come up with an answer. I swear the tulips look exactly like the photos I took at the Mormom Temple in Salt Lake City in 2007!
Thanks for stopping by my blog for SKW.
Hi there, this is my first visit to your lovely website. What gorgeous coulours these flowers have. They really seem to 'jump' out of the screen. I am an amateur photographer myself, I can really appreciate your work. I'll be back for more ! Regards, Ann (Belgium)
The tulips are ready to work! They look so alive & present. Colors amazing!
