Another Green Barn for Barn Charm

 This poor sad barn is in the small town of Duval.  People live in the house but everything is pretty falling down.  No farmer lives here.

The Valley is beginning to bloom.......

 The Skagit Valley is awash with color.  The Daffodil and Tulip blooming time there.  The Tulip blooms are just starting.
RoozenGaarde was established in 1985 by the Roozen family.The Roozen family business of growing Tulips, Daffodils and Irises is the largest in the world, covering Skagit Valley with more than 1000 acres of field blooms and 16 acres of greenhouses.

 Purple is pretty and will be prettier when the rows flower out more.

 Good ole Skunk Cabbage. 

 We have Tulips too and they are just starting to open up.  We planted 150 bulbs in the front garden.

 More red and I did it twice cuz they are so pretty.  haha

Phainopepla

I thought this was a very cool looking bird.  I saw quite a few of these in Arizona.
The Phainopepla is a striking bird with a noticeable crest and a long tail; it is slender, and has an upright posture when it perches. Its bill is short and slender. The male is glossy black, and has a white wing patch that is visible when it flies; the female is plain gray and has a lighter gray wing patch. Both sexes have red eyes, but these are more noticeable in the female than the male.
 Berries, any small insects, fruits, vegetables. Phainopepla have a specialized mechanism in their gizzard that shucks berry skins off the fruit and packs the skins separately from the rest of the fruit into the intestines for more efficient digestion. So far this is the only known bird able to do this.
He looks rather like our Stellar Jay and is sometimes called a Black Jay.
