Description

Actually, they're tulips. My gallery has become a touch too monochromatic lately, so I thought I'd live dangerously and throw in a dash of color. Photographed in the garden of Community Connections Mental Health Center on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and N. Broadway St. in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago on April 22, 2010.

These are nice. Tulips are among the very, extremely few flowers I know by name...well...breed name. I usually just rank them in order of whether or not their edible or not, so I know edible flowers and non-edible flowers...and roses...and tulips...and hydrangeas...begonias...and dandelions. That's it. This is a great shot and I love the intensity of the non-bleeding red. Quite nice.

In my world of gray and brown these are a welcome splash of color, gorgeous flowers beautifully captured!

You are one of several people I know who look at their gallery page and exclaim, "What this needs is some color! How about RED!" I do it myself. Sometimes you just need a bit of a shakeup! These tulips certainly fit the bill. I love their yellow throats peeking out at different angles. Wonderful image!

Not only is red my favorite color, I know I have lots of it in my gallery--maybe I need a bit more B&W??? A sweet little splash of color for a winter day!!

There are two colours known to banish the winter doldrums in a heartbeat. One is yellow, the other is red! Beautiful splash of colour to brighten a dull day. ^=^

Your title brought a big smile to my face. I do the same...throw in a colorful flower now and then...it breaks whatever other trend I've been on and I find it almost difficult to take a poor picture of any of nature's beautiful blooms.
