This past Saturday was the first truly warm and sunny day we’ve had this spring, and it was the perfect weather for spending the afternoon at the Skagit Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon. Because of the late wintery weather we’ve had in the past couple of weeks, the tulips were late to bloom this year. There were only a few small field of tulips in color when we got up there, but what was in bloom was absolutely gorgeous. The only downside was there far too many people crowding around the few fields of flowers. With a bit of patience and careful framing, though, I still managed to get a few wide shots.
If you haven’t been up to the Tulip Festival yet, I highly recommend heading up to Mount Vernon to see it. It’s really quite nice. I’d also recommend getting up there in the morning (10-11 am is just right) or late in the day to avoid the afternoon traffic. Sometimes the cars can line up all the way down highway 20 out to I-5.
