Red Tulip….
The world of man often scares me and makes me lonely. I need the joy that photographing flowers gives me. and sharing that with others pleases me. This red tulip whispered to me, “Have Faith”.

“Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower, the whole of
the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower, the truth
of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here.”
