Challenge #269

Good day to everyone out there!  I hope your week is starting off well.  We finally have some nice weather here (at least for a day or two) and our tulips are starting to pop up.  Hence our photo for the week.  I tried a bit of selective focus and am pretty happy with the results.

On to our top 3 from challenge #267.  Here they are in no particular order:
