Yes, they are here!

We have had sunny weather the past 3 days and it really popped the tulips out. The Skagit Valley is full of beautiful color. I spent a few hours today taking pictures and these are only a few. There are so many colors and varieties.

I think you have more tulips here than Amsterdam. I'll tiptoe through the tulips so gently virtually. These colours are incredible.

Incredible scene, MB - awesome shots.

Beautiful. Almost, forgive me for saying, psychedelic.

This is so beautiful! I was at the Oregon Coast this past weekend and saw a sign along the road for a tulip festival. Can't remember what town it was in. It was coming up here this weekend, I think. I still hope to get to one of those someday.

What a treat! I've got to come here more often! And you must get into Geocaching, it's so much fun! You do need a handheld GPS but the rest is easy, I'm hooked! Take care and keep in touch! Hugs!!

So many flowers, so wonderful colours! Great pictures, MB! And the kaleidoskop is wonderful, I just tried it :)

MB, I posted a link to this post on a camping forum I belong to. There is a campout this weekend in Anacortes and some folks may want to come early or stay an extra day to see the tulips. Your pictures are beautiful.

Oh WOW, MB... I love all of those tulip fields. GORGEOUS!

Hope you had a great week/weekend.

We are glad to be home.. It was a wonderful trip --just getting to see my son and family. BUT--the weather was horrible. Oh Well!!!!

I'm going to check through some of your older blog posts.
Hugs,

Oh, yes! Last year I went to Holland to see the tulips, but the Skagit Valley is just as beautiful. I'll be there Monday. Now that it's cooler, I think they'll wait for me.

EG CameraGirl said...

It's wonderful! This is what I imagine the Netherlands to look like. I wonder if your weather is similar to theirs.

Lowell said...

I'm stunned by all this beauty; I've never seen anything like it!

Janice Thomson said...
