Keukenhof Tulips 2013

Working for Cary LaCouture means I have seen A LOT of tulips. I mean a lot. If you don't know just what I mean, you definitely need to check out his work. At first I'm not sure I appreciated them, I mean they were nice but they were just tulips; after a while they began to grow on me. I guess I didn't see how someone could find so much beauty in the same flowers over and over ... and over again. 

Well a lot has changed since I met Cary. 

Yesterday I stood in a field of thousands and thousands of tulips. I jumped on a train to The Netherlands and I am now lucky enough to say I have seen the famous Keukenhof gardens of Holland.

 I was a total Cary LaCouture yesterday. I crawled in the dirt for the perfect angle. I took at least 400 shots of red tulips alone. I spent an entire day just photographing these tulips ... more tulips and tulips and tulips. And it was a fantastic day. 

There is something about standing in a sea of flowers. Literally a sea. Everywhere you look these beautiful flowers perfectly in bloom or imperfectly just as beautiful. People work the whole year round for this month. Just this little bit of beauty ... but it is enough to refresh someone's whole life - someone like me.

You always see these corny quotes on pinterest but it isn't until you are crouched in tens of thousands of tulips that they sink in. Just a drop of water on a flower can make you realize something you've been looking for for years, and I think that is the real beauty. 

"Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don't see it yourself." - Edmund Lee

Fuchsia Favorite

It was time for a good color board,

and when I stumbled upon this shot by Cary LaCouture Photography,

I couldn't resist. 

I'm not a fan of pink usually, but nature just has a way with color!

I'm Back

Forgive me ... I have done the unthinkable:

disappeared from the blogging world this semester.

I'm so sorry, but I'm back!!

And this time I'm packin ... I have been bookmarking and saving like crazy and have so much to share I don't even know where to begin. 

I'll start with this new shot from the boss man:

Cary LaCouture.

I'll even add in a cute little poem out of guilt :)

ENJOY!

Yellow: 

The color of happiness, 

wisdom and imagination, 

Yellow is chosen 

by the mentally adventurous, 

searching for novelty 

and self-fulfillment. 

Yellow usually goes with 

a sunny and shrewd personality, 

with a good business head and a 

strong sense of humor. 

It is the color of intellectuality 

and all things to do with the mind. 

Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers

 who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities 

and who have lofty ideals. 

They may at times tend to shun responsibility, 

preferring freedom of thought and action.

As of Lately

Sooo, my life has been absolutely consumed lately ...

I know, I know, that's no excuse to disappear from the blogosphere. 

Forgive me.

Work, weddings and the last few beloved weeks at home before school.

Who wouldn't love living HERE?!

But I will make it up to you all.

I will share the most amazing blog with you ...

it doesn't make stupid jokes 

or write a lot of wanna-be-funny stories ...

just photography.

BEAUTIFUL photography.

You say oooh ahhh and you're done. Inspired.

I can still obsess over red :)

At work I came across this flower photo,

and I immediately thought of the dress pic I had saved from before. 

High fashion meet nature ...

BEAUTIFUL!!
