Sea of Tulips
Uploaded: May 05, 2009 08:26:26
Yesterday I spent the day at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Madison, Wisconsin.
Olbrich is a huge park on the east side of Madison, were I grew up. It has the gardens, a huge softball area, with I think 8 diomonds, of course a playground and a beach, oh and in the winter it has a ice skating and hockey rink. It is one of my favorite places as a kid and adult.
Anyway, I had a wonderful time at the gardens yesterday and they had a ton of beautiful tulips blooming, along with alot of different little flowers I will be showing you. Hope you enjoy.

Susan- Your description of the gardens is exactly why it was always one of my most favorite places to go when I lived back there. Its beauty is unsurpassed. You have done such a beautiful job of capturing these tulips. Love the full frame of them and girl you really popped the colors. Love the mix of yellow and red. Just gorgeous and attention grabbers.
