Tiptoe through the tulips...

Hello everyone!
It is sooo nice to be back!
I didn't want to say too much in my last post in fear that it wouldn't post like my previous 5 attempts.
Thanks to so many of you that sent me some love and encouragement during my lonely week! Lol. It was well appreciated.

Despite my mishaps with blogger I was still able to enjoy the great spring weather! It's still a little cool here but  the sun is shining!
I thought I'd bring a little more spring inside and what says spring better than a  couple of bunches of tulips?


What is it about flowers that breathes life into any room?


You can see where I finally hung my Farmer's Market sign.




I'm also trying out a new lens. I'm loving the pics!


Thanks for stopping by.
Hoping you all get a chance to tiptoe through the tulips! They're only 5.97 a bunch at walmart.

    Hi Kim-

    So happy that you are up and running again. I noticed the clarity in your photos right away and said to myself - she has a new camera or lens. Did you use a 50mm? They look so clear.
    My best- Diane

    Welcome back! Hope blogger doesn't misbehave again ... we missed your pretty posts! These tulips are beautiful with everything in your home, especially against that wallpaper that I just love. :)
    Nothing says spring like tulips...enjoy the sun!

    Kim love the spring post and your sign placement is perfect. Any advice about what not to do so the pic problem doesn't happen to anyone else?

    Love the tulips! I usually buy the pink ones at Walmart, occasionally they will mark them down to 2.50 a bunch!! The pics are beautiful! What lens are you using?

    Your pictures look very pretty. What kind of lens did you get? I've been wanting a macro lens.

    I love the frame on the chalk board. I have a mirror with a similar frame and now I think it needs to be white. Our flower markets do not start opening until next week and I want to get my hands on some real white tulips, yours are beautiful.

    Well there you are! Good to see you back. Your sign looks great. As well as that pretty chalk board frame. I'm looking for a frame like that one. What lens did you get? I'm thinking of getting one also, perhaps a 50mm one.
