Hectic Day? Sit and smell the Roses enjoy the Tulips!

It's been a hectic day indeed, starting out with a Rotary event I attended and then an open house in the afternoon. Coming home, I still had phone calls to make and information to send out to some new prospects.

Funny, someone asked me today whether I "worked weekends"... Well, yes... but there should be time to sit and smell the roses or at least enjoy the tulips since it's Spring.

This is a photo I took a couple of years ago in a public park in my hometown of Oldenburg in Germany.

It's my mental escape this evening to sit... right there on that white bench.... relax, and just enjoy the view! Hope you will as well!

Have a great Sunday!

Silvia- how smart you are to give yourself some mental free time. I love tulips even more than roses. That white bench has my name all over it!

Hi Silvia, Now that is a garden. I love it. I wish tulips could last for more than a couple weeks. It is one of my favorite flowers and there just can't be too many.

That's gorgeous, Siliva. Somehow, I knew it wasn't Spring Hill :)

Hi Silvia - Our public parks don't yet look like your photograph but they will in the near future. Something to look forward to.

Silvia - That is a wonderfully composed picture. And so timely for the weary eyes of those who have been storm laden. The color is so bright, it almost hurts my eyes. CONGRATULATIONS on having this photo FEATURED in the PHOTOS group!

So pretty it doesn't look like it could be for real. Very pretty colors and it does relax you to sit and gaze at these flowers. Thank you Silvia,

Pat, glad you enjoyed it!

Myrl, thank you so much for the feature!!!

JoAnn, it was very real and unfortunately, a picture only shows a small part of what the eye would see.

Pat, always!!!

Denise, that's true, tulips don't last too long but they are some of the first Spring flowers!

Georgina, it's been kind of hectic this week and this is the place to sit back and relax for a moment.

Kristine, O dear! :-) Never thought of that, I guess the wildlife enjoys Spring tulips in a different way!
