An Afternoon in Tower Grove Park – Jonquils and Ducks and Tulips – Wednesday, April 17, 2013

Tower Grove Park Jonquils – Daffodils on a Late Spring Afternoon

The light in Tower Grove Park this evening was lovely, casting long shadows from the trees and backlighting the jonquils. Some of these shots are very similar to one another, but I just couldn’t decide between two slightly different compositions.

The Dying of the Daffodils – The Rising of the Tulips – Forest Park – St. Louis

Friends have sometimes complained that I do not take enough pictures of living things. It is true that I try to find beauty in things that are broken or breaking apart, and perhaps even some of my Spring pictures may appear more Fall-ish in appearance (as may be the case with the ones below). However, I hope you have seen enough lovely living flower pictures on this blog recently to help me descry the charge, at least a little bit :) The flowers in this post were all in beds right next to one another. And, I really do love tulips, which are just beginning to come up in full force here in St. Louis. So, buckle your seat belts, dear readers!
