I took plenty of pics yesterday and finally uploaded them off my camera.. Them and all the others I have been taking for a couple months... 1600 pictures. Now I have to go thru them and see which are good.. Which to upload to EyeEm and what will make good cards or something.... At Zazzle.. A lot of work to do. This was one of my favorite flower shots from yesterday morning. These are my new tulips I planted them last fall.. They were in a mix. I was hoping for maybe pink tulips.. But these are pretty. Does anyone else garden? Enjoy Photography?

Thank you... I love gardening... these are the bulb flowers, the first to appear in the spring and inspire me to go out and get some more flowers to plant for the summer.. :)

Muscari Armeniacum or Grape Hyacinth as they are often called.

@LadyDuck Yes, I think that is the more common reference... There are a few different types of Muscari.. most are purple.. but I have seen some more different colored ones - I would love to get them and add to my garden!

@ridingbet I find that they require more special treatment.

@minx267 i think orchids need little maintenance. i think they should be in partly shaded areas and watering them is not always done everyday.

This photo is beautiful indeed. No I don't have a garden at present or I am not enjoying photography. I love to take photos, now I don't know where is our camera. Mobile camera is not good too.

@Sreekala I got this beautiful picture yesterday just as I was leaving work... If I did not have my camera with me.. I would have missed the opportunity!

Lovely picture. I need to dig my bulbs up and reset them this fall. I might add new ones to them at that time also

Yes, a little overwhelming.. I really should upload more often so I don't have to sift through as many.
