The color from the tulips are wondrous. They are one of my all time favorite photo subjects.
Here's pictures of this years blooms. Enjoy!

 |
| Workers also in the red field also picking blooms - a couple of hours later and there would be no color left. |
 |
| Last glimpse of the field before all the blooms are removed. |

| My Mom - Betty Pincha - in her usual stance - taking pictures. I learned about cameras from her. She's enjoyed being a nature photographer in her retirement. She's doing great for an 82 year old! |
 |
| Ha! Finally got her to look up from her camera! |
 |
| We weren't the only photographers. Here's one mother and daughter out taking pictures. I took pictures of the both of them with her camera. The little girl was adorable. |
 |
| Such a lovely purple. |
 |
| One color next to the other. |

The following photos are from the display garden at the Roozengaarde Farm. (www.tulips.com)
they have the best display garden in the Skagit Valley. They plant thousands of bulbs in an amazing variety of tulips. This garden is the highlight of the trip to see the tulips.
