Every
April, the Skagit River Valley farmland
just north of Seattle is awash with acres and acres of Crayola-like
colors. Here tulips, daffodils,
and irises of all colors bring a touch
of Holland to the Pacific Northwest. The views are just stunning
as the tulip fields glow during both the early morning and late-afternoon
light. Even overcast days yield great photos! Just drive along
the country roads between Mt. Vernon
and LaConnor and start snapping the
shutter. A map of the tulip fields and additional info are available
at www.tulipfestival.org
