Jackpot

Linus Gelber

The flowering comes early this year at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I've come for an advance look at the cherry blossoms, thinking that maybe this year I'll get to see them once on the curve up to their explosive blooming and then again at or just past the prime.

Instead I arrive already past the peak, and along the way I catch the tulips in the last of their glory. Every year I'm entranced by the tulips, and every year I shoot frame after frame of a beauty that just can't be nailed down - they are exquisite, and no photo will ever do them justice. Which never stops me from trying, of course.

It's a long gorgeous day spent in the company of flowers, and as the sun eases down I decide that I've seen all the beauty a guy can take in the course of a day. As luck would have it, I'm wrong.
