What's your opinion of these tulips from the Portland Farmers Market?

I got these tulips on May 9 and couldn't resist taking several photos of them. When I looked at the photos, seeing how perfectly the vendor's newspaper wrap had been folded around them to reveal the Opinion section heading, I felt, "Ah, serendipity!"

I took the first photo after setting my rolling black bag up onto a table.


I took this photo in the parking garage elevator.


I took this photo in the conference room at the PCPA--I went to an usher meeting after leaving the farmers' market--Sarah gave me a ride, that's why I was in an elevator in a parking garage.


I took this photo looking down at the tulips, on the MAX on my way home after the meeting, .

Tulip, close

Sunday evening after the wonderful meal at 3 Doors Down Cafe, we rode along SE 37th to Clinton, then over to SE Division at 21st where I found tulips blooming in all their glory. Come back tomorrow for the wide shot.

Corporate landscape--yellow tulips

One among the many aspects of Portland that I enjoy is the variety of landscaping at businesses all around the city. These yellow tulips and their colorful neighbors inhabit a small bed at One Main Place, across the street from the great big hole. Friday the wind blew hard and long, continuing after work when I took this photo. You can see evidence of that on the right where some tulip petals have come loose.
