While looking for winter images of Westminster Ponds, I came across this from last February and was reminded that winter can be really lovely.

The drying tulip gradually spreads out in all directions creating a dramatic shape. It seems to command more of a presence with its changing shape.

The second image in my look at the form of tulips as they age, the flower’s petals start to twist as they dry, creating a dramatic visual effect. Past its youthful softness it has a different beauty now.

Here is a black and white image of the pink and white tulips I have been featuring. Inspired by fellow tulip lover, and poet extraordinaire, Cynthia Jobin, as a mini art project, I have taken a bunch of images of these tulips as they age. I will post a bunch over the next several days. I have been surprised at the results as I hope you will be too.
