Nothing like a

little

touch of red

to chase

away

the winter

blues.

 

 

 

 

Buy yourself a bunch of tulips and watch the winter blahs just fade away.

  1. Good Morning, Jen. Your photos are gorgeous. John grew up near Holland, MI and I have always wanted to go there to view the tulips!

  2. Beautiful photos. It's pretty gray here today, and after sitting out in the little screened porch I came inside, and was blasted with the colors and happiness inside our little cottage. It made me thankful for all my many blessings.

    Have a wonderful weekend ~ FlowerLady

  5. Your photos of tulips made my day. Isn't it funny how a bouquet of flowers, especially in the winter can brighten up our lives!! Perhaps with hope that the colorful world will soon surface!!

  6. Red flowers do warm the heart. Perhaps that is why we celebrate Valentine's Day smack in the middle of winter. Say, when I did I miss your new blog look? Have I been sleeping? Or just pre occupied? I love it.

  8. Hi Jen. These are beautiful photos of your tulips. I love buying tulips in winter and they will soon be available at the grocery store. They come from PEI and I am watching for them to arrive. Enjoy the day!

  13. Tulipany w grudniu pięknie wyglądają, przypominają wiosnę. Zrobiłaś im cudowne zdjęcia. Pozdrawiam.
    Tulips in December, look beautiful, like spring. They've done a wonderful picture. Yours.

  15. There's nothing like some bright colour to warm you up. Red is definitely one of my favourites.

  16. I love the drenched colour and the sheen of the petals. It is very uplifting in this monochromatic season. :)

  17. So true Jen which is why I love the Christmas cactus and amaryllis for some color

  18. Nice idea. I was just thinking of seeing some green and other colors by visiting one of the area conservatories.

  19. Red tulips are a good solution, Jen. But then I’d have to get dressed and go to town . . . it probably is worth the effort seeing your vibrant photo’s.

  20. Just beautiful, Jen. I love tulips and daffodils. Seeing them makes me think spring will be here before we know it :)

  21. I love red! So lovely... I don't think I'll see spring for a long time. In the mean time I'll enjoy the snow. You can now find me at blogspot besides in other words and pictures. I wish for you lots of days of color...
