The tulip certainly has a beauty and distinction all its own. They have been very highly regarded in history - in the Netherlands, around the early 17th century, the value of this flower was extraordinary. One sale was recorded in 1635: 40 bulbs for 100,000 florins (by comparison, a ton of butter could be purchased for 100 florins)! This image was captured in a small park named Garvan Woodland Gardens, outside of Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA.

Artist's Statement:My belief is that art, in any form, is an expression of an individual's thoughts or perceptions: a unique way of looking at the world. People create art for an infinite number of reasons...relaxation, refuge, inspiration, social responsibility... I keep it simple:I shoot what I like.Click Here To Visit My Webpage
