Holland Trip

Early May brings about many things in Michigan. The end of college, the start of (typically) reliably warmer weather, and tulips. Holland, MI has a tulip festival every spring to showcase tulips, oddly enough. Of course, the tulips being grown were absolutely gorgeous.



There were plenty of people walking around and getting a shot without anyone in it was amusing, to say the least. This fountain, in the center of Holland provided a lovely backdrop for this shot.

I had just received my new EF 85mm f/1.8 lens, so I had a field day playing with bokeh, as seen in the following images.





This final image gives you an idea of what a field of tulips looks like in May. Absolutely stunning.
