Tip-toeing through the Tulips

I have been waiting to do a tulip photo-shoot all winter. I got this dress on clearance last summer and have been excited to see how many of my recently planted tulips would come up. Emily semi-cooperated. I think this is the best shot I got. I had to hide her little stuffed bear (that she insists is a kitty) in the tulips for her to get close enough. I think this was my only chance b/c the tulips peaked today, and as I write this a severe thunderstorm is rolling through and the gust front may have torn them to bits. If you would like to see the complete collection of tulip photos feel free to view the slide show below. :o)
