Pink tulips

I bought myself some flowers, which has nothing to do with Valentine's Day. They're pretty, and whether it feels like it or not, it is winter.

Winter allows for self-indulgent things that make me happy. Like hot cocoa with a tiny bit of instant coffee, and fresh cut flowers that did not grow anywhere near here.

It's an acceptable way of self-medicating for these tiring February days.

Pink is so not my color. I like these anyway.

They remind me that it's warm enough to grow things somewhere, and that my turn will come.

Tulips. So pretty.

Can't wait to see them for real. :)

I love coffee and chocolate. Together. Separate. It's all delicious. ;)

Love these macros! I have been indulging myself with flowers in winter for two months now... dreading the reality of heading back to bleakness. I will try this trick if it gets too bad.

Beautiful! These make me want to grab my Lensbaby. I love your form of self-medication!

And you sharing them is an extra-sweet gift to us. Thank you! They're gorgeous, and just the thing to get through the rest of the blah that is February.

From the labels I can assume that these were shot with your crippled Rebel and that they are sooc...both of which makes me love them that much more......because I'm wierd like that.

I love all the contrast in the first shot and the last one looks film-like to me for some reason.

And the weather hasn't been bad. Why am I dying for winter to be over, too?

yes, pink is not my favorite either, but wow oh wow in these photos it rocks!!! When I was making up my original camera wish list, a Lens Baby was on it, but then I realized I should hold my horses and maybe just adjust to a new camera first ;)

So do you like your lensbaby? My next lens on my list is a wide angle... still studying which one I want. Are you still rockin the canon?

Love the colors in this picture. Ethereal.
