I picked up some new tips on taking photos from another blogger last week, Mary. I like the angle on this one. It’s already become one of my all-time favourites. The cold April we have had has certainly helped bring out the best in this year’s tulip crop.
Thank you, Barbara. We’ve had a great crop of tulips this spring, especially because we’ve just had the closest April for 60 years. Apparently, they like cold, frosty nights at this time of the year.
I thought daffodils were poisonous. Squirrels certainly eat our tulip bulbs (if they can find them), but they seem to stay well clear of the daffodils.
Oh, maybe they are. I just assumed because one year we had a bunch and the next year they were all gone. Interesting – I’m going to have to research that. Thanks, Hugh!
Beautiful!
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
I love tulips, Hugh. They are so cheerful and positive – or at least that’s how they make me feel. This photo is taken from an interesting angle.

Fantastic shot.
Looks like you were laying under the tulips!!
Not quite, but almost.
What a wonderful, unique, and well-chosen perspective and angle for this colorful photo, Hugh. A joy to behold. Happy day after hump day! 🙂
Thank you, Liesbet. British gardens are full of these spring blooms at the moment. They are a joy to behold.
It is such a joy to see them blooming again!
Yes, and because we’re experiencing the coldest April for over 60 years in the UK, they are really blooming this year.
Wishing you a warming up soon, Hugh🌞
Nice, optimistic photo Hugh. Hope you were able to get up yourself up from the ground as easy as you got down!
Thank you. Fortunately, I had two dogs by my side who helped me get up again, Paul. 😂
Beautiful 💜
Thank you, Willow.
A pleasure 💜
Love the angle you chose for the photo, Hugh.
Thanks, Cathy. I picked up the tip of taking photos from different angles on another blog.
Tulips are so fun to see and so cheerful. I like the perspective too, looking up!

Oh that’s interesting! The deer ate our tulips and daffodils, but I have some other bulbs they let alone. 🙂

Goegeous perspective, Hugh!
Thanks, Terri. One of my all-time favourites taken by me. And I only took it last week.
Well done!
Ah, tulips from Austin and Toby’s vantage point. Magnificent shot.
Thank you. I never thought of it from the pup’s point of view. But yes, I guess that’s how they see the sky when walking through the garden.
My favourite flowers under the clear blue sky; how lovely Hugh!
It was a grand view from down there, Caz. Those tulips were so tall.
😉 Believe it or not, they have beautiful giant (10 ft high) daffodils (metal, of course) in Glenrothes, Fife, where my parents live 🙂
That sounds great — all-year-round daffodils. I like the thought of that.
