The lack of sunshine resulted in increased investment in chocolate and flowers to ward off depression - this is not an official statement, by the way, this is how I survived the last months ;-)
A little pop of colour never fails to cheer me up and tulips are my favorites - a sign of spring.
I used Kim's textures "chill" (to pay tribute to the temperatures) and no. 2 from Ben's collection for this week's Texture Tuesday.
Have a wonderful week filled with sunshine!
Brilliant color! I love it!

Oh I do love me some tulips (and chocolate) and I'm spoiled here in Texas with so much sun shine, that when the sun goes missing for only a few days I'm in a funk!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on the tulips! I don't think I've ever seen any with this deep red before. I hope your gray days leave you soon. I know that's got to be so depressing.
ReplyDeleteI love the backlight in this--just makes it even more scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteThe light is stunning!
ReplyDeleteHappy sunshine!
Flowers do add a little brightness to our lives and these are so lovely, Rosie.
ReplyDeletePretty tulips!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Rosie, I was just commenting on that the other day. I understand that winter is snowy and cold, but it has been so horribly gray here too. Today was the first day in 3 weeks that the sun peeked through. Only for a moment, and then it was gone. Does not do a lot for one's mood for sure. :-(
ReplyDeleteThese tulips are just beautiful, and I love the color.
I hope you've had a wonderful day!
xo.
Tulips are one of my favorites too, Rosie, and these have such a lovely red color !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and texture work !
Nice week,
Sylvia
Wonderful color! I love the light that brightens the inside of that front tulip. Keep up with chocolate "therapy", it helps one cope with winter :)
ReplyDeleteMy investment in chocolate and flowers took an uptick this month as well...if fact, the chocolate intake increased again today! Tulips seem to be the drug of choice for us spring fever sufferers! Lovely shot!

Lovely image...colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTulips do so much to help me keep my sanity in winter and yours are simply delightful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light and color!
ReplyDeleteLove how the tulip in focus is so prettily backlit.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all the beautiful tulips I'm seeing. They are truly harbingers of spring. I love photographing them too - they have such a nice architectural quality.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful.
You captured the red so well...I have trouble with that color in my photos, for some reason. Wonderfully vibrant tulips, Rosie!
ReplyDeleteThey look so pretty. Love the texture you added. We have had lots of sunshine here in the desert. But I still love to buy chocolate and flowers. You know everything here in the desert is brown this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are enjoying your week my friend.
Hugs~
Chocolate and flowers are a great antidote tor SAD. Tulips are some of my favorites, and yours are gorgeous, Rosie!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely - what vibrant cheerful colours!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with chocolate and flowers! Love the colour of these tulips against the soft white background - the textures work beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie! What a lovely photo! I love the light and the color of your tulips. It's been pretty gray here in Seattle too, but we have had a more mild winter this year than other parts of the world, so no complaints here! Hope you get to see some sun soon. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie, wonderful capture! Me too, I have the same way as you to survive cold and grey days (you can see my tulips on my Blog)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Esther
Beautiful! (And I think your chocolate + flowers recipe is perfect!)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Flowers and chocolate are the perfect way to ward off some of the misery of those grey days, it's my prescription too. I saw the sun for a few moments today...it was quite the sight ;)
