It’s 7:45 Easter morning and the tourists are lined up for blocks for their busses, or to go up the Washington Monument. Parking near the Lincoln Memorial is already packed. But for the Tulip Library, which brightens the landscape between the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument, there were no takers, so I was alone. Which was a good thing because taking shots like these requires the assumption of the prone position, you know.

I take a lot of mostly blind shots with my digital. My ground is mushy soggy for most of the year, and getting prone would mean having a wet ventral stripe!
But this also means I get a lot of shots of weirdly placed edges of the flowers I am trying to capture!
Kudos for you for going the distance for the shot!
Awesome picture! Love the phallic symbol.
