Two Red Tulips © 2011 Bo Mackison

I take a deep breath and find myself gently exhaling every time I look at this photograph of these simple red tulips. It literally takes my breath away!

Sometimes, a photograph ought to do that. Affect a person so deeply that it makes one stop short, and take a second look, a really long look.

I so love it when I take a photograph like that. Doesn’t happen often. I’ll take two hundred photos a day, five days a week, and if I get one of these every few weeks I’m happy.

This kind of photograph isn’t for everyone. Some people like to see the entire flower, or even the entire garden at one glance. But for a few, these flowers–well, they are enough to make one stop and breathe deeply.
