Stop And Smell The Tulips

After a 20 mile bike ride around LaConner it was time to stop and smell the flowers so to speak. Roozengaarde Tulip is one of my favorites. They plant in such interesting ways and have great mountain backdrops. If you haven’t gone it’s a must!

But WHY can’t I pick them?

I had to go talk with this cutie’s mom. Every time I turned around she presented a great photo–those cherub cheeks! But I didn’t want her mom to think a was a weird stalker. So I sent her the files afterward. It was a win win for everyone. (Well maybe not all the flowers that got crushed or picked…)

Hungry for color

After winter days of grey skies and bare foliage this shot take at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival last year looks like a Technicolor miracle. It’s not too soon to start planning a day trip if you’re local, though if you’ve got cabin fever an overnight trip sure appeals. The festival runs through the month of April.
