May 3rd - The Tulip Barn


The Tulip Barn

After living in this area for nearly 40 years, I finally went to see the tulips. Oh I've seen them before many times but never at less than 50 M.P.H. Today I went and did the tourist thing, actually walking thru the fields I and shot 55 photos in about 25 minutes. As I was leaving, I noticed the barn across the field of tulips and shot a 56th. It turned out to be my favorite.

  5. Thanks everyone! Yes, I think it might be a late season - The guy at the gas station where I picked up the map said there are still 3 places with tulips. I only went to one of them.
