My first photo shoot of Schenectady Rose Garden at Central Park.

I finally was able to visit the Albany Tulip Festival. Twas an overcast day but the tulips had a few water droplets and the photos turned out ok.

A brief second visit to the Albany Tulip Festival. I did not treat it as a photo gig as I had the previous visit. It was a mother's day visit with my wife and I did not disrupt the occasion with serious photography : )
