In April every year the tulips come up in the Skagit Valley, just north of Seattle. Acres of tulips. Acres of red, yellow, purple, whatever color. It is so beautiful. The weekends are nuts to go up there. Thousands of people come up! We went today, Easter Monday. It was a gorgeous day. Blue sky, white fluffy clouds (looked like a maxfield parish sky). It was great for taking photos. I took 140 photos of tulips. We went to Rozengaarde, and Tulip Town. Rozengaarde is wonderful, it has some tulip fields around it, but the site itself is a garden that showcases almost every variety of tulip you can think of. Double blooms, blooms that look like peonies, parrot tulips, the kind that have the fringed edges. Tulip town is also nice, they have a trolley that goes around the show field so people who have trouble walking that far can see the fields. The fields are very muddy as it has been raining for days before today! Hail on Holy Saturday! Yipes. Today was so worth it.
I am going to put up some photos of the tulips. The first are at Rozengaarde, the field photos are from Tulip Towne.

This was not in one of the structured places, it is a field. Some people plant corn or barley, in the Skagit Valley, they plant tulips and it is so beautiful.

Beautiful! I think you have an amazing photographer's eye; good choice of subject, angle, composition, and perspective.
A wonderful and a beautiful picture of a Mother and her son!!!
I was looking so deep and I have one strong feeling about the choice of colors.
Susan and lon had red and yellow top. The tulips in that picture were mostly red and yellow. It was nice combination and the picture looked so rich and beautiful that I showed to Aaron and described.
This picture had so natural touch that some pure natural feelings could be seen and read. They were looking into the flowers and gives a nice feeling to who ever sees it.
To me it is the best picture and lovely sight that every one should view it.
Thank you both! It is so nice of you to say those things.
