On our way home from Canada, we made a loop and stopped in La Conner to check Skagit Valley Tulip Festival that runs from April 1st to April 30th. It was early for tulips and irises, but the daffodil fields were in their best.

Yellow color is not my favorite, but I love this sea of yellow.
It looks better when enlarged
Skagit County is located in the northwest portion of Washington State, USA. between Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, B.C. Canada. The majestic Cascade Mountains stand to the east, overlooking a fertile valley boasting a variety of agricultural crops. Running through the valley is the powerful Skagit River flowing westward toward the beautiful San Juan Islands. World famous tulip fields blanket the valley in the spring.Flocks of Canadian geese, snow geese and trumpeter swans can be seen here in the winter. Bald eagles soar overhead year round and great blue herons stand along the shorelines. I like this Skagit County description from http://www.skagitcounty.net/common/asp/default.asp?d=Home&c=General&p=about.htm

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty!! .... the closest we can get here in Malaysia is when paddies are ripening and about to be harvested .... almost the same ... a sea of inspiration! ~ bangchik
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tatyana. We've got a tulip farm out here too. I've never gone to see it in bloom before - I probably should.
ReplyDeleteWe like going up to the Skagit River to fish. Then after morning fishing I hit all of the wonderful little towns around there to do some antiquing. Beautiful country.
Wow - amazing. I find the scale of it a bit overwhelming, but I'm just used to small fields. Stunning though!
ReplyDeleteHi Tatyana- I am glad you are back! Sounds like it was a sight worth stopping for. Can't wait to see more pics from your trip!

ReplyDeleteHi Hermes! Thanks. I understand what you mean. It's like me - I never thought that state Washington was the main producer of apples in the U.S. I think the name of the area -Northwest - makes people to think about the NORTH.

Voldemar, как приятно среди отзывов увидеть твой! Я не очень люблю желтый цвет. Никогда не верила, что это цвет измены, как у нас говорят, но видимо, этот предрассудок все-таки как-то в подкорке остался. Однако же когда их так много, то очень красиво, хоть и желтенькие. Зааходи в гости!
Oh my goodness! What an incredible sight. I have never seen a field of daffodlis. How very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
Sherry
