The best garden in Oregon!

Now that I have been to the tulip festival two years in a row, I suppose I will have to make it a tradition.  Last year, I took plenty of wonderful color-filled pictures there.  But this year, I got a little bored, feeling like I was taking the same pictures over and over again, so I took a few black and whites, and I think I love them even more.  It revealed something in the flowers that just isn't seen in color. And yes, these are all technically tulips, even if they look like peonies or roses!

Next week will be a return to more around-the-house type pictures, as our almost month-long parade of grandparents has come to a close!
