Patch Reader Photo of the Week: 'First Bloom' in Shorewood

SHOREWOOD, WI - It seems everyone can capture a great image from time to time.

Cell phones capture amazing images. True DSLR cameras render detail that almost looks surreal.

This week's image comes from Patch Reader Janet Hertig in Shorewood, who took this photo of her lovely "fire mix" tulips in her front yard on May 10. She planted them last August and this year is their first bloom. Thanks Janet! And welcome to Spring!

"The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also."
