Tulips

[laur1]

<p>I didn't go to the tulip festival this year, but I found some tulips next to the city hall. Some good use of tax money :)<br>

I used my K-7 with the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.5 (adaptall-2)@f/8.? ??T????h?e?s?e? ?c?a?n? ?a?l?s?o? ?b?e? ?s?e?e?n? ???<a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">h?e?r?e</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339">?</a>?<a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=964339"></a>??.????? ??????<br>

<p>Love that color combo of red and white. Neat that you were able to enjoy them right by the city hall. In my yard there was a random tulip growing, and now there are 2 pink ones coming up. I haven't seen them open out yet, but I did catch the other one, which looks similar to the ones you saw:</p>

<p>This was taken with the FA50.</p>

<p>This is one of our species tulip; it is only 9 inches high. A species tulip has not been hybridized over the centuries, thus it's closer to the "wild" natural tulip.</p>

<p>I'm planning on using my new Pentax D-FA 100 f/2.8 WR at the Albany Tulip Festival in a few weeks. It's supposed to be delivered today, so I'll get to play with it tonight!</p>

<p>Looking forward to samples from the D-FA100.</p>
