This is an unretouched photo--the sky was actually that pink that evening! We'd taken a boat tour of the harbor (this was when the waterfalls were staged around downtown) and we passed by the statue as the sky was glowing in this color. It didn't last too long, but oh, how beautiful it was!
Friday Photos - Amaryllis bloooms
I do like the Amaryllis for the beautiful flowers that seem to come up so suddenly! I usually have the green stems growing in my apartment window and every so often I turn and it seems as though the flowers simply appeared! They grow so fast and tall they need some bracing, but then they bloom so beautifully in the window. And I like that they'll usually bloom twice a year and then just give long green leaves until they are ready to go again.
Friday Photos - Tulips
I love how tulips look in the sun with the sheerness between the overlapping petals and their softness. It always does mean that spring is just about here. And I think we need this reminder with the upcoming cold weather still hanging on! I hope these are safe under the snow and I'll see their descendants when I'm walking in the park in April....
