I found this list of spring quotes online.  These would be great for cards or scrapbook pages.  I thought these pretty little flower photos I took should accompany the spring quotes.  First up are the tulips blooming in the Duke Gardens. (These are just a sampling of the hundreds of bulbs blooming there)

My darling Dutch BFF Ellen gave me beautiful blue hyacinth bulbs back when she lived here in Atlanta.  I think of those fun times every year when they bloom.  I love this photo because the bottom petals seem to be hugging it’s own leaf like little arms.  So stinking sweet….
