Well, for some reason, this surreal image of tulips blooming under a budding crab apple tree did not get recorded onto my computer when I transferred the files from yesterday’s photo shoot. And before I realized what happened, I had already “deleted” the RAW image from my memory card. Thankfully, with the help of my dear friend C.R., I was able to restore about 50 images that would otherwise have been lost. This is one of them.
If you’ve a moment, please view large.

gorgeous photo.
Thanks Abigail.
That is such a peaceful, beautiful image. I’m so glad you were able to rescue it!
Thanks, too, for stopping by and for your thoughtful comment. The power of water is indeed a wonder.
Thanks and you’re welcome!
so perfectly framed and the prettiest colours…it almost looks like you have 2 photos together…luckily you saved them…i guess it’s a good idea not to delete from the camera until one knows it’s downloaded properly…i will keep it in mind.
Yeah, I won’t delete anything off the camera anymore until I know all photos have made it to the computer.
I’m so happy that you could restore this beauty! My favourite one! I love the bokeh and the colors!
