Woodland Spring in Fort Collins, Colorado

We currently have a covering of snow here in northern Colorado, but I am reminded that this replenishing snow will fortify our woodlands for a burst of springtime pink and white cherry blossoms  very soon. This photo was taken on an urban nature walk through one of our plentiful open spaces in Fort Collins last year. Take heart. Spring is coming!

Red Tulips from the Spring Garden

This week spring came to the northern hemisphere. My mind has been on flowers or the lack of at my new home. I am itching to get out and start tearing up sod and removing stone to make new flower beds and plant some trees. 

Gardening is a close second to photography for me and shooting flower photography is a natural fit. This photograph of a bouquet of tulips occupied quite a bit of my studio time. I fiddled and fussed with it playing with a couple different backgrounds to put behind those red beauties. But after some sage advice from Flickr and Facebook friends the purist version won out.

Tell me which one you like. Do you agree that the plain background is best? Tulip 2's background was created by yours truly. And I have Pixal Dust Photo Art to thank for the beautiful background on Tulip 3.
