Skagit Valley tulips-2 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This post is similar to one I posted yesterday but different viewpoint and tulip color.

Each year Skagit Valley - an hour north of Seattle - hosts a Tulip Festival that attracts thousands of visitors to view the multi-colored fields of tulips (which are actually grown for the bulbs).

Persistent cold and rainy weather delayed the blooms, so there was only one weekend to view them (and, of course, the weather wasn't optimal!) We went up yesterday and all but one field had been plowed - I imagine to keep on schedule with the harvesting of the bulbs.

Great pov. The low angle is perfect for capturing the mass of colour and leads the eye nicely to the old farmhouse buildings.

Hi Claudia
An excellent low POV. Not only do we have the colours of the tulips but the old barn has a wonderful collection of old layers of paint.
Well seen.
