Tulip Festival

Okay, so it doesn't sound very manly, but I've been trying to make it to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival for several years now and have never been able to go. This year I put my foot down. It was the windiest day ever with tulips swaying all over the place making longer exposures and larger depth of field options impossible. I put on my 60mm macro and cranked open the aperture and did my best to spot meter and focus each bloom on the move. Oh yeah, and we took the whole family. This is the best I could do.
