Sweet green bud wrapped tight as a new umbrella
sneaking out from winter covers
betting its life on another spring.
Tulip Hunting In Central Park
To some people, it may seem as though tulip hunting in Central Park is a very unchallenging pass time, since there are so many tulips available. However, if you are searching for a particular yellow tulip, surrounded by buds of red and yellow compatriots, of the Parade type, and in a very specific general spot, and of a particular age, well then! There is nothing like the rewards of discovering just this tulip, and capturing it on film. Tulip Hunter Succeeds! (Photo by Lara C. of Chicago).
