To celebrate the arrival of spring, VOX Reporter Gail Peterson stepped outside to document a cluster of tulips on the verge of blooming. A picture says a thousand words, so enjoy these photos of her backyard flowers blossoming over time!

Taken in the beginning hours of the day, the morning sun breathes on the face of the tulips, promising life as time goes on.

The newly fallen raindrops play their part in the cycle of plant growth.
