Day 456 - Yes, tulips really do grown on trees

ISO 200, 99mm, f/7.1, 1/320 sec

19 years ago this week we drove to Salem, Oregon to find a place to live. We had moved from Denver to the Seattle area just a year and half earlier and now we were migrating down the I-5 corridor.

I was so impressed with Salem, I had never seen so many trees in bloom. The tree that impressed me the most though, was the tulip tree.

Never have been lucky enough to have one in my yard. Can't believe it took me 19 years to actually walk up to one and say "Hi".
