It’s happened to you before.
You’re in a store, and you hear it.
At first, you’re not sure, but within seconds there’s no mistaking it.
That little pot of pink tulips is calling your name.
There’s plenty to do (back to work next week).
But maybe just one little indoor play date with your camera wouldn’t hurt.
Next thing you know, those little pink tulips have jumped into your cart.
Things happen.

I can hear the tulips singing, you have captured their beauty, their voice ligers.
Gorgeous work Lisa.

Tulips can be sneaky that way. I’m glad you allowed them to twist your arm.
Caroline
Oh…these would have totally jumped into my cart too! Beautiful!

At least it wasn’t diamonds calling your name. And you deserve a little hint of spring there. Plus you put them to beautiful use and shared them with all of us!
geetlee
Beautiful, just beautiful!
Haha I agree about plants calling your name. I bought a bunch of peonies the other day. Sadly, they don’t seem to be blooming though so no play time for me
Linda R
Usually its some kind of chocolate that is calling my name. LOL.. These are gorgeous. I am so glad you shared them with us..
Hugs~

Beautiful tulips.

when we had a wonderful green grocer just up the street there were many times when bunches of tulips followed me home .. they also caused our late great Gus cat to have the most obnoxious farts after ingesting the stamens! i havent had any fresh flowers since we have Harry .. i wonder if he is a flower eater or ignorer …
Tricia
heheheee yes, ma’am, I know exactly what you’re talkin bout. elegantly shot, Lisa =)
shirley lemay
Yes, and you were so right that they needed to be with you. There’s just something about tulips….. and now I think a bunch is calling my name too!
