With my mind’s eye (and my camera’s memory) still full of images from yesterday’s Tulip Festival, I could easily have done a flower theme this week, although I already used that as a theme during Macy’s Flower Show in NYC last year. Instead, as I was flicking through my tulip photos, I found a few shots I’d taken of some sassy tulips that dared to stand out from the crowd. They put me in mind of one of my favourite moments from Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’.
Brian: You’re all individuals!
Crowd: Yes! We’re all individuals!
Brian: You’re all different!
Crowd: Yes, we are all different!
Dennis: I’m not…
Crowd: Shhh!
Are you ready to break out your inner dissident and celebrate nonconformity? If you would like to join in this week’s travel theme (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Contrast
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS.
Dare to be different!

I love your tulip pictures! My post is also from the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival but I tried to go in a different direction. Another example of contrast. 🙂

Hi everybody! Here’s my take on this week’s Contrast Travel Theme: http://stephenkellycreative.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/ailsas-travel-theme-contrast/
in the springtime, the weather in bulgaria can be unpredictable. it can change any minute providing a good study of contrasting weather conditions.
i took this picture while we were driving on the way to the village of ognyanovo. we stopped by on the side of the road to get a better view of the hailstorm brewing over the horizon.
