Skagit Valley tulips
These were taken by my sister when we visited the tulip festival last week. I think hers are pretty wonderful. I wish I took that top one!
Please visit Macro Flowers Saturday, Color Carnival, Pink Saturday, Shadow Shot Sunday and Scenic Sunday after your visit here.

These are incredible! A photographers dream come true! Such wonderful colors. Good job!

Great shots. We have a smaller version down here but the Skagit Valley wins by far. I miss living in such diverse scenery as in that area.

Beautiful tulip macro, Sara. Do they plant these bulbs by some mechanical means?

Excellent tulip macro Sara, what a beautiful light and details.
These tulip fields, in so many colors, are sensational, especially with this beautiful background of mountains and sky.
Have a nice weekend!

I am in greater “awe” with every post of these wonderful tulips! The light in the first one is breathtaking! The one yellow in that sea of orange is really something special and the last shot is another “awe” inspiring photo! Wow!

Great shots. They remind me of when I lived in Holland, with the fields of flowers they have there. But the mountains in the last shot look nothing like Holland.

Fantastic shots as always, Sara! The colors and tulips are breathtaking. Love the shot of you taking a shot!! We do get in some interesting positions as we capture the beauty, don’t we? Love your macro shot, too! Hope you have a great weekend!

I haven’t seen such an expansive flower farm up close, but the rows and rows of beauty leave great shadows aver the furrows. The bold colors ore wonderful, I usually see one or two colors, but here so many shades are so nice. Excellent capture – Spring awaits!

I would want to lie down in those fields and enjoy the beauty!

Everyone, I’m thrilled by your comments! With my sister the official family photographer, the few that I take are very much in the background. By your feelings about these photos that I took, you have all heartened me enormously! Thank you all so much. Jo

Wow, what lovely captures! I’ve never seen so many tulips, which have to be my favourite spring bulb flower. They simply scream, “Spring!” π
