Tulip field color stripes
Glorious tulips! Even on an overcast day, what a show. This year at the Washington State (not Holland!) Skagit Tulip Festival I went to Tulip Town as well as RoozenGaarde and found there’s a big difference between the two. Tulip Town has really great and huge fields planted in a multitude of fabulous varieties of tulips. RoozenGaarde, however, has it all over them in the breathtaking garden areas they have planted. I’ll show a bit of them later. Below is a slice of the Tulip Town fields for your scenic viewing pleasure.
Visit Color Carnival, Outdoor Wednesday, Pink Saturday, Mellow Yellow Monday, Ruby Tuesday, Thursday Challenge (Spring), Today’s Flowers and Scenic Sunday for more photo fun. If there is only one photo below, click on Sara’s Fave Photos for others.

Now I know where to go to see dazzling fields of tulips, since I can’t afford to fly to the Netherlands anymore. Thanks, Sara!
THE SEEKER OF RUBY AND RED
The seeker of ruby and red
Will not let green go to her head;
Instead she will seek
Her senses to pique
With cherry and crimson instead.

Hi Sara,
thanks for coming by and for the info on the strawberrries, had not heard that, so will have to look for organic if I can find them.
Hope you get a bumper crop of strawberries, that will be fun and
yummy!
Love all your photographs they are gorgeous!
Blessings, Nellie

I thought it was this year that I’d be visiting this festival, but maybe next year. Need more planning.
So delightful.
