Love all the tulip pics, everyone!

Went up to Chicago with my DH yesterday to see the City of Chicago tulip festival on Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive--hundreds of thousands of tulips planted in the median strips and parks. But, alas! I was about a week too early! Nothing much blooming but great prospects in about 10 days for bloom so if anyone is thinking about a visit to Chicago, I recommend taking it in the next couple of weeks.

(The Art Institute has a wonderful exhibit about 'Vollard and the Impressionists' that is not to be missed, either!)

This pic is a little corny and doesn't really give an accurate impression of the huge tulip plantings along the avenues...
