Yes, I know they won’t last forever, and that into our lives more rain will fall, but that doesn’t mean I was going to enjoy these skies any less! I sat on the sidewalk in front of the Jewel Box to get some low angle shots of the tulips, and while I was there I practiced getting up again without pushing myself off the ground. It is more difficult with two cameras and a backpack, but yes, I can rock my body forward and stand up from a sitting position without touching the ground (or the floor or the walk or the street). This simple feat gives me a rather oversized sense of accomplishment every time I manage it.
The tulips here are a riot of color (tulips are prone to rioting, just like college students), but I managed to escape any serious injury during my time in their midst. As always, I am looking for pattern, shapes, color, repetition, contrast, and a sense of depth in my photos. How did I do?
