Elizabeth Park at Tulip Time

The tulip garden at Elizabeth Park draws everyone out with their cameras on Sunday afternoon in early May.

This is the garden I showed in high summer and in the winter, taken from the same spot.  You will see this garden often as it changes throughout the year.

  1. Mr. Brattcat and I visited this garden several years ago. It's lovely. There's an answer to your question about water back at my blog, Jack.

  5. Love the medley of photographers searching for the right position for the perfect shot. Almost makes me forget about the tulips...but not quite. Incidentally, I share your opinion about my blog today. Definitely NOT a win-win.

  7. I was going to say, I thought I'd seen this photo or a similar one some time ago. I get a kick out of all the photogs...but it is a great photo opportunity!

    Re your comment on Ocala: We have had some ET's in our area - mostly from the northeast, but what is an ETF?

  12. Love these flowers! First time I've seen a tulip al year- mine never made it out this season. I wonder why? (SNOW)))))))
    Kind of fun taking pictures of photographers...I wonder if someone has a picture of you taking pictures?:))))

  23. Oh, boy! What a great time for everyone! I just might get to go to a tulip farm this weekend--depends upon how much it is raining. I want to take lots of photos, but I know I won't get any like that man because if I were to get down on the ground like he has, I'd be stuck there! Great post, Jack. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with these gardens.
