Close-up of a red and yellow tulip in a multicolor field of tulips.

As long as I’ve had cameras — a very long time indeed — I have been addicted to taking pictures of flowers. Over the years I think I have gotten quite a lot better at it, but it’s still a rare day when the image I capture actually does justice to the beauty of the thing itself. It’s a quest I will always be on.
