"A Dozen Tulips"



This past Saturday morning at Union Square Farmers' Market, for the first time I felt Spring's presents.
Some of the farmers who were not there for past few months are back at the spots where they're usually stationed.  We had to say "Welcome Back".  
Their winter is over as well.  Time for them to get back to work for us, city folk.
I also saw many flowers ready to decorate our homes.  Magnolia Trees in the Square have many pink flowers and pink buds.  But, nothing else screams louder "Spring is here!" to us more than Tulips.  They came in many varieties and colors.
Here are some close-up looks at lovely Tulips I found that morning...













I'm sure that Tulips will be there every Saturday for more than a few weekends.  
If you like to have spring in your home, make a trip to the markets to get a few bouquets of Tulips.
By the way, there will be other flowers waiting for you, not just Tulips at Union Square. You will see Sweet Peas, Hyacinths, Pansies, Quince, Crocus and Roses. You can also come back with branches of Sakura Blossoms as well.  
Spring is defiantly here !
