In my third and final tulip post I found my macro lens in heaven capturing the tulips at Crystal Hermitage in the mountains outside of Nevada City, California. I took the liberty of taking some unusual angles of the bright and happy tulips which I hope you enjoy. I have taken a lot of flower photos in my day and I just never get tired of it. I keep hoping for a better one or another one or a different and new one that takes my breath away. Thank you readers/followers for giving me a medium to share their fleeting beauty. It memorializes them forever long past their current form.
Happy travels everyone.
Stunning photos. Love all the colors. 😀

Mignonne allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avait déclose….
An old poem by Ronsard (1524-1585) about the fleeting life of a rose, of youth and beauty…
You “do” flowers very well. No wonder Colin likes them. 🙂
Lemme see whether I can find an English version… (Please hold the line) (Un moment s’il vous plaît)…

(I disagree with a few translation points but that’s all right. “Mignonne” would be better translated by Lassie) 😉

It’s one of the oldest know French poems. The start of the Renaissance.
