Happy Valentine's Day

These are Teresa's tulips. Why tulips? Because tulips aren't roses and everyone gets roses. Why purplish? Because purple is the color of royalty (and everyone else gets red or pink). I'm doing my part to be different. Teresa already is ;-)

I like the light in this photograph (believe me, I went to some effort to get it that way). I could have gone into Photoshop and cleaned up the leaves, taken out the ragged spots, and removed the imperfections from the petals. But that is how the stalks and blossoms look. So I left them like they are. You shouldn't look for perfection in a valentine - that is impossible to find (very, very good is OK, just not perfection :-)
