tulips

I so love seeing tulips sprouting up around our neighborhood. Their bright color proclaim spring's arrival in an otherwise brown and colorless landscape. When I was young, my mom would take us to the Tulip Festival in Holland MI and I remember seeing fields and fields of these beautiful flowers. Breathtaking. They remind me of my Dutch heritage and those times spent at the Tulip Festival with my wooden shoes and windmills in fields of tulips. I picked these from our yard and loved the way the sun was making them glow.
