One Red Tulip


One Red Tulip, originally uploaded by lucienphoto.

The light yesterday was perfect. Soft and warm. The air was cool, there was a slight breeze blowing the flowers that suddenly sprung up in our garden. I might have missed these if I had not been staring out the window. The kids were out with their mom for Mothers' Day and I was wiped out after a very hectice Sunday School. Lots of wild energetic kids. Just the way they should be (I think?). This is my reward for taking a minute to stop and think about life and love and family. This is my reward for caring enough to get up for Sunday School. This is my reward for taking the time to set up my camera on manual. This is my reward for caring enough to use the features that this camera has. This is just my reward. I was amazed when this was loaded into PSE-5. The color was brilliant, exactly like I had seen it, but the green leaves in the background were kind of muted. I recall them having more saturation. I thought for sure they might be a distraction, but this is what happens when the muses talk with you.

I'm not sure what I did to deserve such a lovely reward but it is a beautiful photo.
