Tiptoe Through the Tulips

The church council told me to take a couple of days off this week following a busy Holy Week, so I took their advice. It was a nice day outside, so we decided to go for a drive and check out the tulips in the fields of Skagit County near Mt. Vernon. It's about a half hour drive north on I-5 for us. Every year a big festival is held in April around the time the tulips bloom. The whole valley becomes quite the tourist haunt.

Here's a couple of tourists enjoying the tulip fields. Mt. Baker was supposed to be in the background, but it kind of got lost in the haze.

Lily's looking for a lily pad for this frog to kick back on.

The color in the fields is quite stunning.
Of course, the pictures don't do it justice.


"I'll take this one."

The tulips look very pretty. Better than when I went up the previous weekend with my kids. Lily looks very good among the flowers.

I hope you all are doing well.
