The arrival of spring

Spring has finally arrived on Capitol Hill, although it was 85 degrees today, so perhaps we’ve already skipped to summer. These tulips are in place of my own because the camera couldn’t seem to cope with the bright daffodils in the midst of the tulips and thus I thought the pictures were terrible.

I can only wish for 85. It didn’t make it past 40 today where I live. Such a beautiful capture!! V

POV is just right to catch the tulips in their most favorable light!

How lovely - the play of light on the tulips and background is neat creating a 3D effect. V
PS 85 deg.!!!! Nights still freezing here :(

a nice pic of these, whose character is often difficult to encapsulate

Perfect lighting on these tulips. A very pleasing shade of red against all the green.

Your photo of these lovely tulips is so very pretty!!! I'm envious to see tulips growing outdoors.

My outdoor tulips and daffodils finally have leaves, but it doesn't look like either are going to flower this Spring. Guess the weather has just been too strange for them. It was 83 degrees here (just 2 degrees less than what you had) today. So I think you're right about going straight into Summer. Or not. However after having Summer-like temperatures today, we're supposed to have a sudden 50 degree drip in temperature & it's supposed to snow here tomorrow night. Hope that cold weather doesn't continue on your way. You have such pretty Spring flowers already. Lovely photo subjects.
