In the springtime we often watch and wait in the garden, anticipating the beauty that is to come. Sometimes, as was the case with these tulip buds, we have a sneak preview of the coming colors, but often the blooms take us by surprise. I love those kinds of surprises.
As many of you know, I do not have my own garden. However, fellow photographer Cindy Dyer is one of my neighbors and she has an amazing garden, full of fun flowers to photograph.

When I first saw the picture, I thought it was praying hands not a tulip bud.
Wow. I need to look at that shot with new eyes, as two people, including you, Therese, have noticed the same thing.
Wow! They look like praying hands. Oh the joy of flowers!

Thanks, Mitzy. I took another look at the photo and definitely see the praying hands. We can always use more prayer. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks for sharing these delightful signs of spring. Mike.
