Sky Watch #20
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.
Fabulous! I don't care if it's not spring where I live, this is beautiful! The light and colors are wonderful. Wouldn't I love to see that bed of flowers.
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is amazingly beautiful!!! Love tulips:)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you didn't stop with the floral theme, this is a beautiful photos, the colors are fantastic and the composition is great.
ReplyDeleteYou're telling me you're green with envy??? Amazing capture of beautiful spring flowers under a brilliant blue sky!!! Wonderful! Makes me wish it were spring already... Gorgeous. Looks like an ant took the picture. Great perspective!

ReplyDeleteOh! 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!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI love tulips against the sky! We have too many obstructions here between sky and flowers. It is very cheery on this gray autumn day.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous shot! The light on the flowers is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteEnough 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.
ReplyDeleteThis photo rushes me forward to springtime and I love the flowers and all the colors too!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
ReplyDeleteTulips 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful reminder of what awaits me in about 6 months after the snow!!! A beautiful Sky Watch!
ReplyDeleteNo 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.
ReplyDelete(you were watching Sarah Palin! Wednesday? rerun? this is ancient history, now : )
beautiful shot! colors, composition...very nice!
ReplyDeleteMy Skywatch entry is HERE!
Ahh What a lovely sight. It made me smile real big!!
