Tulip Festival

The tulips bloom!
The 26th annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival finally has more than just fields of buds! Finally! For mile after mile, the country roads running between LaConner and Mount Vernon are lined with acre after acre of glorious blooms. Thousands of people stop along the route to view the beautiful fields. Daffodils were still showing their color and drawing big crowds!
Pretty pink tulips against a rural backdrop.~~~~~

What a pretty day for my visit!
