touch of royalty...

...in a tulip

-tinged with red and yellow... spiked like a crown...

a most unusual specimen of a tulip i've ever seen... it caught my eye as i took a quick jaunt around the neighborhood... now is the time to start seeing what the neighbors are going to be planting - so what a cool surprise...

know what else was a really cool surprise? having my little white butterfly hit spotlight yesterday! happy skippy dancing to get that notification... thank you for helping the little critter make it there... although, i never quite understand how that works and wouldn't have thought i'd gotten enough visits or comments to make it... but i'm duly thrilled - always am after almost 2 years still whenever i see i have a comment even... it gives me a warm fuzzy... so thanks much - it made for...

a

happy day.....
