More spring flowers 2011-04-19 Not too sure about the crop here - perhaps a bit tighter? I blurred the background (which was a white wall anyway). In any case, like yesterday's picture, this is from the gardens of the baroque palace Schloss Hof in Austria.

Heirloom 2011-04-18 From a visit to the baroque palace Schlosshof, on Austria's eastern border. The palace and grounds have been renovated, and feature not only architecture, but heirloom plants and animals. This tulip is one example.
