February's bout of snow and extreme cold is well and truly in our rearview mirror. Spring has arrived in North Texas, and from my experience it tends to only last about a month. So it was time to get out and get some spring photos.
Tulips are among the first bloomers here, and there's a place that grows them in Pilot Point that I meant to visit last year. Then COVID hit, and I didn't go anywhere for a while. A year later COVID is still with us, but I don't feel uncomfortable being outside. So I waited until late in the day to get some shadows and warm golden hour light, and headed up to Texas Tulips.
They certainly have quite a variety. I'm not even entirely sure this is a tulip, but it's still striking.
Yes, that's what I was there to take. I've always spelled it differently, though.
The place was crowded with couples and families, even late on a Sunday. Still, I had no problem finding subjects with clean backgrounds.
The low sun gave me plenty of opportunities to work with backlight, too.
I really like the rim lighting where the stem meets the petals on this one.
I found myself drawn to the more vibrant colors...
