First tulip opened up of the year. Of course, it was one of the red ones. Trying to not blow out the red can be frustrating. Did I succeed?

I actually like this not-quite opened bloom even better. The colors are more balanced and I think I managed to get this lit correctly with good backlighting and use of a white reflector in front.

I have tried for a long time to get one of these severe back-lit blooms to look tight and I might have come so awfully close. Also I am proud of the juggling act to physically get the image. I am juggling the black background, white reflector, the shutter release and shading the lens from the Sun to avoid lens flares. All this with only two hands and a lap. I really should get an assistant to make this easier on myself but where is the fun in that?

I love them also but even though the temps and amount of sunlight scream summer, the calendar still say 15 or 16 more day till the beginning of summer. :P

Most all of the iris blooms are gone here. Good news, the lillies are opening up.
