Description
I took flowers to a friend for her birthday. Now is that a win/win for a photographer, or what?? :) Rosemary got the flowers, and I took pictures, and we both smiled.

A SHAMELESS REMINDER ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY!
It's this Sunday, May 11th.
Now I know that you're not ALL just chomping at the bit to post something for my birthday, but for those of you who want to do that, I'm all over it! I LOVE getting attention on my birthday, and this year I'll be 50, which is pretty exciting!
So I have to tell you ... for years and years I had to share my birthday with Mother's Day, and I really hated that. I'm a little tweaked that my 50th is ON Mother's Day, but nobody asked me, so that's what we get. :) So if you DO want to post something for my birthday, and you were planning on posting a Mother's Day dedication, I would just LOVE it if you posted something for me on a different day, rather than do a combo. Just a request ... of course you can do anything you like! :) I started celebrating this year in April and won't finish until the middle of June when Marilyn is here, so any ol' day will be just fine with me!
NO PRESSURE!!! If you weren't going to do a birthday thing for me, please don't do one! This is just a reminder for those who like to do that sort of thing. I always figure if I don't ask for what I want, my chances of getting it go WAY down. I will be absolutely thrilled with ANYTHING I get!

Splendiferous! Very dramatic and probably perfect!
Beautiful drama
Great image! I love the color contrast. Hey, your birthday could be worse -- mine is on September 11!
Beautiful tulip, the colors and detail are exceptional, beautiful work!!
I think this tulip is smiling at you too and I do wish you a happy 50th. Have a happy day.
The colors and lighting on this tulip are just fantastic. I think it is getting ready to shout "LOOK OUT WORLD...TARA IS TURNING 50!!".
My daughters birthday is also on May 11th.... A beautiful day it will be. Beautiful capture. Aloha
Très beau coloris!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bravissima!V:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
Happy 50th for Sunday Tara!!! It sounds like you got all the celebratings under control!!!! Lovely tulip shot btw!!! xx
wonderful tulip photo, i just love them but its too hot here to grow them. :-( such a pretty one too, very bright
Incredibly ~Beautiful~ LOVE IT!! ^5^ FELIZ CUMPLEANOS
This image is gorgeous, the coloring is brilliant! I know there's some sort of rule about dividing the canvas into thirds, and having the subject off to a side, I never would have thought to do this, and it's perfect. Thanks for teaching me something today! I hope I'm not too confused here, your birthday is this Sunday? And if we want to post a special image for it, it doesn't have to be Sunday? Because Sunday is also Mothers Day, and you'd rather not have a combo. Got it! (Yeah, I'm really slow today!) Well, I'm going to cheat a little then and at least say Happy Birthday now! Just in case. And how can you be so nonchallant (spelling) about 50? My 50th is in July and I'm already having fits! LOL Great day to you!
Dramatic beauty Tara, a wonderful capture. Hugs. Di. xx
What a beautiful flower and capture and I want to get the jump on things and wish you a happy birthday my friend :)
Stunning tulip, colors and POV
Wonderful Work!!!!
gorgeous!
Gorgeous colors here and I love the shine on the petals. Funny, and maybe it's because part of me is still way out in interstellar space somewhere, but in looking at the way this admittedly gorgeous flower is positioned, I can actually see a mouth with a tongue inside! I LOVE that as well as the gorgeous color captured here!
It was on my mind anyway Tara, its not the first time you have broadcast your 50th B/Day date and good for you girl ! A lovely shine to the Tulip, bright and clear detail with the dark background, well done. BTW. We cellebrate Mothers Day in March in the UK !!!!
