This past weekend, we ventured north of Seattle to Mt. Vernon, WA to see the tulips. It’s a rite of Spring. There are fields and fields and fields of tulips. Carpets of color. It’s truly an amazing sight. I thought I’d share some of the pictures with you, as not everyone can drop by.
There were, as one might expect (or as those in Western WA know), many people visiting. We were all treated to a glorious warm, sunny day. I’m a big fan of nature, and this is one of those instances where its beauty knocks you over. It’s quite overwhelming, to be honest.
There were families galore, and cameras out in force. Everyone posed near a row; everyone took pictures. Small children were barely above the tips of the flowers. And the color. Incredible. Take a break; look at the pictures. Perhaps you can get an idea of what the tulips look like, and give yourself a nice relaxing moment in the process. Enjoy!
For more information about the tulips, see the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.




The colors of our world are truly amazing. Great pics, Julie. Thanks for sharing them. Now if I could only find my toddler in the tulips…probably tip-toeing.
