thank you Lord for creating the tulips for they are one of the most beautiful flowers.

as melancholic as a flower can be. a stem-cut pink tulip under soft afternoon light.

my sunday morning started with some drums sound like in one of the maroon 5's song with the same title.
went out early in the morning helping some of my college friends to take pictures of several flower arrangements. yet, along the way, i couldn't help taking some macro pictures.
we all love to see the beauty of flowers as they paint the earth with their colors. but, have we ever wonder what inside their beauty look like?

as i am retouching this picture, my amazement to see inside this pink gerbera's crown aroused. it's the other side of beauty we uncommonly see in a flower.
