Driving through Bonners Ferry, Idaho, on my way home from a listing consultation, I found myself unexpectedly immersed in a profusion of spring color!  On one side of the road were bright and beautiful tulips in bloom.  Mother Nature's splendor on showy display. 

On the other side of the road, hundreds of jealous balloons, competing with the tulips for attention.  "Hey!  Over here," they seemed to shout.  "Look at us!"

It was such a fun, unexpected sight, and fortunately I had my camera on the seat beside me.  The picture always makes me smile, I call it Tulips vs. Balloons.  And that day in Bonners Ferry, the competition ended in a tie!

That is an awesome photo. Every now and then we see something unusual and you're lucky that you were prepared with your camera.

Janna, that is a great photo, I love it!  Hard to say who wins, together the balloons and the tulips are a fantastic explosion of color.

I love the way the colors play off of each other. Looks like from your other blog post that you had a great mother's day. I hope so!

Janna, I loved the picture how coordinated the flowers and the balloons as if it was planned that way from the beginning.:))
