My sisters and I made plans to meet in the Skagit Valley to view the tulip fields this week, but when I woke on the day, it was raining. Tulips are ever so much prettier in the sunshine when the light gathers in their colored chalices and makes them glow from within. There are few visual experiences in the natural world that are as intense as a tulip field on a sunny day. Having postponed the trip once already we decided to persevere, and I'm so glad we did.The rain went away and the fields were glorious. Some people turned the remaining puddles into recreational opportunities.
My sisters and I wandered amongst the fields and display gardens soaking up the sunshine and the the color.
There is no better way to welcome spring.
Our cameras got a real workout as we tried to capture what we saw.
It was a wonderful day.
My pretty sisters, Erin and Lisa.
P.S. I'm so glad Typepad is working again. What is to be gained by attacking a blog host? It doesn't make sense to me.
