Spring Color ~ Volume 1 of 2

Saturday we headed North to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and we could not have picked a more perfect day.  Eight hours and over 538 photos later, let me introduce the major players.......

If one daffodil is worth a thousand pleasures, then one is simply
too few.

I'd like to think William Wordsworth took in such a sight in his lifetime.  The flowers stretched for what seemed like miles, and their color and massive presence was just breathtaking.

We couldn't resist respectfully venturing into one field. It was so calming this sea of yellow all around us, and the gentle breeze that swayed the blooms gave way to this golden ebb and flow that I will never forget.

Golden fields + vibrant blue skies = pure joy!

Ok, how many daffodils do you see below?

If you guessed a bazillion plus one, I think you are pretty close.

 

After our playdate with the daffodils we were off to see the Tulips..........

I'll be back tomorrow with more Tulips, they really do deserve their own post. 


I hope your weekend was lovely.
