| A Hint of Spring... I just love tulips and I am happy to say that these beauties were a gift. Tulips are colorful, strong and wispy. Can't you just taste their color? Sherbet maybe??? Living in New England most of my life, they always suggested that a hint of spring was surly not far behind. Standing tall, strong and upright for a few days, soaking in all available light they slowly tire, beginning their graceful decline. Some opening wide adding to the drama. Loving their wispy fall, I decided to capture me a few photos over several days. Reading my fellow bloggers posts recently, I noticed that some were picking a word to live by in this new year. Hmmm! I thought long and hard about this and had several phrases that I could attach myself to. But just one word!!!!!! This is not as easy as one might think! Well folks, after much deliberation I have decided on a word!!! Drum roll please......EXPLORE! Yes explore, that's my word and I really love it! This is our year for a landmark anniversary and those birth numbers that accumulate automatically. Usually we don't make a big deal out of such events, but this is a perfect excuse to make things happen, a long time waiting! We are planning a trip to Europe and I am beyond excited. Sitting in class for four years studying art history many moons ago, I knew that someday I would visit these magnificent treasures, gifted to us through pure genius. More details to come as I wish all of you to share in our journey! We will explore as the ancient navigators did, however, in the comforts of a cruise ship and later a two week land tour. Our trip is planned in several months. So many things to explore! So much to see and do! So many photos to capture! Yes, I love my new word and plan on executing it to it's fullest potential. Dress rehearsal is over folks, no more dreaming! Just do, explore and enjoy! Isn't that a phrase???  |

Happy New Year!
A wonderful word choice, Rosemary, with so many possibilities!
I just bought some tulips today. It's only 16 degrees here right now, so I need a way to think spring!
xo.
what lovely photos. the light is gorgeous, as are the colors. wishing you a wonderful, healthful new year Rosemary. Take care now.
Hi Rosemary, Your photos of the flowers are filled with joy, life and energy - as is the word, you've chosen for this year! I'm ecxited to follow your journey this year ... looking forward to your pictures and experiences! Europe sounds great (If you want to know something specific about Denmark, I'll be happy to help you :)

Your word is very fitting considering your trip; the photos are edited nicely ...looking forward to hear more..;)Happy New Year if I haven't said it already..
your tulip images is gorgeous. Especially the last one.
Explore is a word that touches my heart this year too but I have chosen the word AWAKEN. Since I will likely spend most of the year here in Ontario I want to AWAKEN to everything right here...see Ontario the way a tourist might, explore everything anew. :)
Europe sounds fantastic! I hope you enjoy the anticipation as well as the trip.
I've never thought about declaring a word for the year.. love it! Explore is a good choice... Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #64!
Hi Rosemary. Just checking in and wanted to say HI! If you're on your trip, hope you're having fun!
You will be taking us along in a blogger sense I hope!
Tulips are one of my favorites. Love the different angles you shot.
