The Tulips: Take 2

Last Thursday we visited the tulip fields again, this time with four other families. We had a fun time walking around the fields while talking and taking tons of pictures. Afterward we headed to the park where we had lunch and hung out for an hour or two.

Most of the girls. This is what happens when I ask them to pose. :)

There was no shortage of mud or puddles.


There was lots of picture taking going on!


This one is a very similar shot to the one I got last year.

The Tulip Fields: Take 1

Last Friday we went to the tulip fields with some family. My aunt was visiting from out of town and my cousin had never been before, so we thought it would be fun to do. We're also going again tomorrow, but with friends. That shall be lots of fun as well!

These white ones were some of my favorites. They look so pretty!

Cousins!

Cherry Blossoms

We didn't have any plans on Easter Sunday, so in the morning we decided to go to the University and see the cherry blossoms. I didn't know these type of trees got so big, but they look so pretty.

We wandered around the campus for a bit as well. This lamp, which must have been 3-4 feet tall, looked really neat. The original photo was plain looking, so I decided to give it a dark, moody look. I'm quite fond of how it turned out.

Eggs

Colored eggs, that is. It's been many, many years since we dyed eggs at our house. We're pretty sure that Daniel and never done it before, so we spent Saturday morning coloring eggs.

We started out with some solid colored eggs. One of the kits we got was for tie-dye eggs, which we did next. They turned out really neat!

I went a grabbed a box of crayons and we all started drawing on them. Yep, mine is a Disney Cruise ship.

Tulip Fields

This past Thursday we went to see the tulips along with several other families. We had a bit of rain while driving there, but we didn't get rained on while we were there. The overcast lighting was real nice for the close ups that I got.

Project 52: Week 14 & Week 15

I forgot to post my Project 52 photo last week, so today you'll get both last weeks and this weeks photo. They both happen to be tulips...

Yesterday we visited the tulip fields. I'll have lots of photos from our visit up next week.

Spring Blooms

While on a walk with my family several days ago, I was able to capture some of the beautiful flowers and plants that were blooming.

We've Got Flowers.... But Where's the Spring Weather?

It may technically be spring, but we've yet to have some spring weather here. There's lots of beautiful flowers and plants blossoming everywhere, but with all the dark, wet days the last few week, it hasn't felt much like spring at all. Hopefully the sun will will decided to come out sometime soon! 

Project 52: Week 12

Last week I posted a photo of a single flower, on a tree that was starting to blossom. Now this week, that tree is filled with many little pink flowers.

Spring is on it's way!

A Little Daffodil

There aren't many flowers popping up around here yet, but I found this bright and cheerful little daffodil. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the flower was only an inch or two long.
