Flower Photos

I was very excited to see the latest photography assignment over at The Pioneer Woman: flowers! I'm not much of a photographer and usually don't participate in PW's photography contests (this is mostly due to the fact that I own no camera other than the one on my cell phone). However, back in 2009, my then-boyfriend had a very nice camera and let me use it to take some photos of the gorgeous gardens at Botanica in Wichita, Kansas. I have so many lovely shots to choose from:

I ended up submitting this shot of one lone red tulip. I like it a lot, for reasons I can't fully articulate. Maybe it'll be a winner! Even if it doesn't win, I'm happy I participated.
