Last Sunday our family celebrated a birthday, mine. A big milestone birthday, 70. Oops, how did that happen. I’m still here. Heather made me a great breakfast of blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon. It was great.
And then we headed to the Tulsa Botanic Garden. Their tulips were peak, in my opinion. It was a little overcast which makes the colors pop!!
All sorts of different colors and varieties.
As a bonus, they had a “florigami” exhibition going on. Florigami is like life sized origami. The works on display were incredible.
I loved this huge florigami tulip on top of the hill overlooking the gardens.
The tulips were everywhere. I have about twenty times as many photos of tulips as what will show up in this post and instagram. Oh well, I got them if I need them.
They had some beautiful wisteria also.
And rotating florigami.
I stole this photo from Heather’s facebook page.
And then we went to Eerie Abbey Ales in downtown Tulsa and had a beer.
And then the nearby La Tertulia restaurant for some decent New Mexico style Mexican food. Green chili enchiladas.
Home for birthday cake. This one lasted three days. I love sheetcake birthday cakes.
Can’t believe I’m 70. That is getting up there.
Surely you aren’t 70! Wow!
Well done. Happy birthday.
…Happy Birthday, young fellow.
Feliz cumpleaños, espero que lo hayas pasado bien. Te mando un beso.
Happy birthday! That breakfast looks good and i’m loving the tulips.
Happy
Birthday!
I’m wishing you many more healthy fun years. Love the tulips too!
HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY!!!!!
It looks like you had a very happy birthday celebration, Yogi. Keep celebrating every day.
The botanical garden tulips are beautiful, and the origami metal sculpture decorations are very colorful!
The family photos would make a wonderful Christmas card photo this year.
Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a great one. That birthday breakfast looks really yummy! Most of my birthdays I have the same feeling: How did I get this old?? Oh well, as they say, it’s better than the alternative!.
Love the florigami!
Seventy is the new forty.

Happy birthday young man!
Had never heard of florigami. It’s wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you had an awesome birthday! Isn’t the florigami at the Botanical Gardens something that’s cool ? From one Okie to another….I also shoot with a Nikon. Enjoyed your photos
Looks like a perfect birthday! My tulips have just started coming through the ground so we’re a few weeks behind. That breakfast looks really yummy. I really don’t understand how 70 is possible.
