A pale purple tulip in a vase over a green table. There are other purple flowers partially visible.
Camera: iPhone 15 Pro. 
January 2026. A cafe's outdoor table.

The tulip petals feature intricate, fine white veining and vertical streaks, giving them a textured, almost brushed appearance. One petal in the foreground is folded slightly outward, revealing its smooth, curved edge.

When this project began everyone in Britain had freedom to protest as a right, handed down through the generations. Now, with the passing of draconian anti-protest legislation by successive governments, that right has become a privilege, to be granted on a whim by an unelected police official…

This is why it's difficult know what a government means when it says we are increasing the NHS budget by x%. Some of the money that should go to patients is being bled off a the profits of the myriad private companies that both the Conservatives and Labour have encouraged to parasitise our NHS.

The view captures tall trees with a carpet of bluebells for company. In the middle of the image a member of the public is walking focused on his mobile phone. The lesson, do not forget to look up!

I was in the process of framing a view and the gentleman captured walked across my lens. I decided to capture the image. Bluebells. Catch them when you can for they will not last!

A ruffled double tulip, its translucent pink petals fringed in white, is surrounded by curly green foliage. The petals are a faint pink at their tops, but deepen in color at the center of the flower.

Love at first sight! Bathed in sunlight, its fringes wavering in a slight breeze,this Queensland tulip became a fast favorite of the season. #TulipTuesday #Bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #Flowers #FlowerReport 🌱 #Tulips #Photography #OnlyBeautifulThings #Spring

We're a few weeks behind up north so we should see it into May (I'm going to Bridgewater tomorrow and I know there will be tulips). Anyway #RoseWednesday runs 365 so I don't see why #TulipTuesday shouldn't πŸ˜€

Most of the Netherlands is technically below sea level and they grow some pretty good (ie millions of amazing) tulips so proper drainage is your friend πŸ˜€
