Dying Tulips

These were beautiful recently. They’ve given all they have to give, and it’s time for them to compost.

    Just sorta how we feel on some days, huh… given all I have to give, can I go compost now… or feeling composted already. ;-/
    I did enjoy the original picture of them.

    PS – maybe you need Snoopy to drop by with his zamboni for your ice ring in the back yard (I doubt the snow plows from Manchester airport would help…. :)

    It really gives the out come of the flower on a black background mode. Really fascinates me when viewing the photo

    I have friends who have photo blogs like this too. Sire of scenicadelaide and Brian of passionatephoto. Photo blogs, the good ones being few, are a breath of fresh air in the world wide web.

    I also have some degree of interest on photography but it may have to wait till my retirement so I can have the extra time. Nice one, James. :)

      Hey, James, thanks for stopping by. I routinely check out Sire’s photo blog, too, but don’t know Brian’s. I’ll look for it, too.

      Don’t wait… grab a cheap Canon point-n-shoot and put it in your pocket. If find you like it, it doesn’t really take that much time.

        Hmmmn, I like your suggestion. Actually, I have a digital camera at home. You think digital cameras can work as good as the traditional ones? I seem to notice that most, if not all serious photography enthusiasts use the traditional ones (the ones where you have to plug in some film).

        Anyway, I may not become a good photographer but I sure appreciate and love to see beauty captured through photographs. There’s probably an artist hidden somewhere deep inside me :) because I do know when something looks exceptionally good be it a sunset, a picture, a girl, etc.

    I really like the picture. I recently bought a Canon PowerShot A590IS, but I have no real “skills” when it comes to photography. I’ve always been interested in photography, but didn’t really know where to start. I live in Richmond, VA too, so I’m sure there are plenty of historical places I could take pictures at and get some decent ones. Maybe once it warms up I’ll try out Maymont Park, they have a lot of botanical stuff there, it’s really pretty and maybe I could get some good shots. Again I like this picture, I like how it’s completely dark in the background and you can just see the lit flowers (my noob opinion). :)

      I found that carrying a camera with me everywhere makes all the difference in the world. Also, when I get a shot I really like, I share it with a few different groups on Flickr where I can get some good feedback. It helps me push my limits as a photographer.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    Now im scared. I am a woman and they said woman lose its value when getting older unlike men, while they age, their value increases. We are like this tulip (we women). So beautiful when still young but as tulip age, it loses its beauty.. Huhuhuhu..

    • James January 15, 2010 at 8:40 AM #

      I don’t know, Sallie, my Claire seems to get more lovely every day. And even though these tulips are dying, they are still beautiful. Wish I had a proper camera to really capture these…

      Hi, Willy, it’s a modified mini skin by Kristarella running on the Thesis theme. You can find links to all in the footer at the bottom of this page. There’s a charge for Thesis, but it’s hands-down the most flexible WordPress theme out there. SEO friendly and full of customization opportunities, but it requires a little bit of know-how to make it work just the way you want it.
