Well, your pictures are wonderful! You sure did hit it just right.

I especially love the flowers next to the old wood fences; there's something very charming about those.

Any one of these, or all of them, would make a great screensaver! Or a jigsaw puzzle!

Thanks for sharing the beauty!

quality. Isn't it gorgeous, those rainbow fields? Did you do both farms or just the one?

After 2/3 of the display part I quit looking at labels and just enjoyed the color, the textures, sizes, etc. Glad you got some decent weather, or perhaps I should say hopefully.

I am still wading through my tulip shots for this year.

Turns out my lens has sticky aperture blades causing overexposures above f/5.6. Off to Nikon for a warranty repair....
At least half the shots are good, and lots of the others may be salvageable.

Those photos are beautiful, and give me hope for the next month. We will have them blooming shortly here.
