Very nice! I can never figure out the right settings for really taking good pictures of flowers...

Are those all up at Majors Hill Park or did you also get some from Dows Lake? Nice pics btw. Haven't been to see the tulips yet. Usually only go down if someone comes to visit and wants to see them.

Great pictures!!I wonder how many tulips you could fit in the back of the Vibe? I like the third picture of the pink peony-type tulips and the Angeliqe tulips.Interesting history link too about how the festival was redesigned to focus on promoting international friendship, the original symbolic role of the gift of tulips. And a new feature called Celebridée: a Celebration of Ideas was introduced. Kind of like GenVibe (International sharing of information).I've not been to that festival but there is a BIG tulip festival every May in Holland, Michigan in the US.
