Roadside tulips
Before the main event at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, even the roadside produce stand got into the act with these potted tulips, harbingers of tulip ecstasy to come.
Visit Macro Monday and Mellow Yellow Monday for more close ups and yellow splashes of cheerfulness. And Blue Monday covers the other third of the color wheel for us! Color Carnival has more brilliant color, of course. Ruby Tuesday has lots of red, red, red for you.

A breathtaking view of the lovely tulips with a blue sky as a background.
That is beautiful tulips. We have Tulip festival here in Canada too and I’m dying to go but it takes 7 hrs. to drive. I don’t know! We’ll see..
I love tulips and it is too hot to grow them in my area.
These are so beautiful and it is hard for me to imagine them on the roadside.
Blessings,

So pretty with their yellow accents. I think tulips are the happiest of flowers.
beautiful post….and lovely tulips
I love tulips. I especially like tulips that go beyond the traditional solid red and yellow. I think I might even have some like this in my garden ๐
I used to live in Tacoma and the flowers are amazing in that part of the country! Your wonderful post certainly brings back great memories of enjoying days in the valley at the flower farms. I just love all the colors in your photo. Thanks for sharing. : )
That is so lovely!
very gorgeous …. sad to say we don’t have tulips in the tropics..

Tulip festival sound very nice and imagine to find tulips by the road! Great shot and this reminds me of a trip I made to Holland one spring, Keukenhofs garden and fields of colorful flowers by the road
Gorgeous tulips and a lovely blue sky.
Stunning!! So so pretty.
I played Macro Monday for the 1st time today…can you come stop by? If you have some time.

That subtle line in the road adds great visual interest to the pohoto. These are the kind of photos I LOVE to see on Skywatch Friday. I know, I’m not a purist!
Have a great week.

Incredible to be able to find tulips growing on the roadside! They must create a wonderful line of colour as you drive! beautiful!
I’ve been to the tulip festival and came back with lots of wonderful pictures. I love the angle on this picture with the road and the sky in the background. Looks like you had a beautiful day for the festival.
I love tulips, I like your photo too.
OMG tulips are so irresistible. I for sure would love to go to Holland Tulip Festival here in MI, so I could take a lot of pictures of tulips!! Great shot!
I like tulips so pretty. Happy blue Monday..
Don’t they look stunning? Thats why i love tulips. View mine here
How I wish they’d stay this straight and tall once they get in a vase at my house. Happy Blue Monday.
Gorgeous. It would be hard for me to keep traveling after seeing that. Very nice composition. Love the blue sky against the brightly colored tulips. Happy MM!
I love this perspective! Wow!
Beautiful as always Sara. I do miss the PNW Spring flowers ! Thanks for the memories.

Do you hear them sing,

I’ll never look at tulips the same way again!
I love the photo! It is so breathtaking! I like the background view of the skies!
Beautiful tulips! I like your POV here.
How lovely to have these pretty tulips by the roadside. They would all be stolen if they are blooming by the roadside. ๐
Excellent work.
