Tulip Days

It's tulip days at Thanksgiving Point, and I spent an afternoon wandering through the gardens to see most of the 250,000 tulips that are planted and on display now until May. I went alone to scope out some possible areas that we could take photos of Jd, Katie, and Johnny. I have to say, there are so many photo-op places here that we will need to spend hours here! (Okay by me)



In this shot, I tried to show both Winter and Spring with Mount Timpanogos in the background and the tulips in the foreground. I wish the leaves on the tree were out, but hey, you take what you can get!



This pic I couldn't resist taking. These parents were trying to catch that "perfect shot" of their beautiful little girl... she seemed more interested in playing with the grass. I finally got around the bend and they were attempting a family shot with Dad trying to hold the camera out and blindly shooting. I offered to take one and got a giggle out of the wee one. I thought it was a perfect shot of a beautiful family. There is just something about flowers that brings out the happiness in me!






Okay, just a few more.... hope you have Spring fever too after seeing these wonderful flowers!




Now I can't wait to see what the Summer blooms have to offer!

Stop and smell the flowers !

Springtime is finally here!

Wow! It has been a wild ride here in the Mountain West ! Warm for a day or two, then just as I think it is going to stay that way, I wake up to SNOW on the ground! Then it melts, and the warm temperatures come back for a few more days then boom.... more snow !



Last week, I took this shot the morning after we hit nearly 70 degrees the day before. It melted by 10 a.m., but still.... ! I want warm weather! (Did I yell that loud enough for Mother nature to hear?)






I'm just glad that we are not having "snow" forcasts again this week... I think Spring has finally come to Northern Utah! Yay!
