#SinfulSunday: Tulips, two lips, and fingertips

Quote Me Some Valentine

The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.
Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in...
As the light lies on these white walls, this bed, these hands.
-Sylvia Plath
Our wedding was simple and understated. I carried a bouquet of tulips that SilverHubby picked up at Tesco that morning. Since then, tulips have been our favourite flower.

  5. Beautiful image with such deeply colored tulips. Re: your note on my image...you two may not be on your knees but give yourself some flexibility. My knees have massive issues and BK's aren't brilliant either. Plus neither of us look our age so we have the illusion of youth. He's 41 and I'll be 29 soon (yeah not old by any stretch but most people think I'm 18).

  6. I found myself glancing back at the image as parts of your quote made it seem all the more relative. Very lovely.
