Tuesday's Tranquility: Tulips Blooming in the Backyard

Today's Tranquility Project photo is a sign of spring in the garden as tulips begin to bloom.

If you're new to the series, here's what you've missed:

With news about everything from politics to school budgets blaring at us every day, we like to take some time out of our busy schedules to find a brief moment of harmony.

We commune with our community.

Find our equilibrium in the environment.

You know, chill out.

In our daily journey, something always strikes us and we just have to share with everyone. So when you come across that inspiring scene or slice of beach that seems especially serene, snap a picture and send it to us. Log on and upload it , share it with us on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #tranquilityproject or email it to Editor Lon Cohen at lon.cohen@patch.com. Remember to include a description of where you took the photo and why it makes you feel tranquil.
