I actually have been pretty lax about photographing flowers this year. That is partially because the 2017 Photography 139 Calendar will go in a new direction. Partially because I haven’t even planted flowers in my yard this year. Partially because my daffodils didn’t bloom this year. Partially because I missed my window of opportunity to go to Pella this year to photograph tulips. Regardless, my daisies were the first of my flowers to bloom this year.
So I dedicate the first flower picture of 2016 to Russell, because he hates my flower photography. He will be in mourning since flowers will start to become a bigger part of this here blog in the coming months. Probably. Sorry Russell, that is how the cookie crumbles.

This is gorgeous, the yellow really pops.
I got a couple of tulip photos that I liked at Reiman this year – it’s no Pella, but there were some pretty flowers!
My passion for tulips is waning a little bit any way. But the missed opportunity will provide motivation to go to a few other flower gardens I like to visit every year.
Up next will be the State Center Rose Garden. Probably. We’ll see what this weekend holds.
I don’t believe I’ve ever been there, but have heard it’s beautiful.
