It was an unusually cold day today, with the driving winds whipping the willow tree branches about and chilling the air and my hands.  Not a good day for outdoor macro photography.  Nor did I find it a particularly good day for photographs providing overviews of the Japanese or English gardens.  The light was just too cold and harsh.  

Yet, this patch of tulips served as the basis for a particularly lovely graphic.  Might make good wallpaper.
