Before the rain

Tomorrow is supposed to be a rainy day. There are flowers calling to me, isolated pops of color...

I decided to take advantage of today's sunny late afternoon, changing my walking routine a bit to be brisk walking sandwiched with stops to grab a few photos. I'm still waiting for the tulips, but today's flowers were special too.

Ah, I'm not imagining things. I just checked last year's photo galleries, and I have photos of tulips dated the 11th of April. Right now I don't see anything other than the early-emerging miniature tulips. Patience Denise, patience!
