These are from the archives, some spring color. It is not, however, very spring-like today, but cold and rainy.

Spring is coming, albeit somewhat slowly. I had hoped to work in the garden today, but it is raining and rather cold, so my plans may come to nothing. Thought I'd post some spring flowers, however, these from the archives.

Taken in the Skagit Valley north of Seattle in the fields of the bulb growers, this fallen daffodil flower caught my eye as I was attempting to capture the reflections of the daffodils in the water between the rows.

When I was back in western Washington recently I visited the Skagit Valley to see how the tulips and daffodils were coming along in the fields of the bulb growers. There were no tulips blooming yet and the daffodils were just starting. This is one of the few fields I found.

We were out last week Tuesday evening for a little while to see the tulip and daffodil fields in the Skagit Valley. The tulips were just starting to show color except at this farm where they were all in bloom. We concluded that they must have some way of forcing them en masse, but have no idea how.. These are display gardens so that is even more likely. In any case we stopped just befopre closing time and took a few pictures from the parking area since we did not want to pay the entrance fee for only a few minutes. The photo is my wife's.

This is where we were last Thursday. We had a break from all the rain and a beautiful sunny day and took advantage of it by driving down to the Skagit Valley to see the daffodil fields and to do some bird watching. We saw the flocks of Snow Geese and the Trumpeter Swans that winter in the valley as well as many raptors, Bald Eagles, Red-tailed, Rough-legged and Sparrow Hawks, Several Peregrine Falcons and a lot of ducks and herons. These are, obviously, some of the daffodils that were in bloom.

Another tulip from the display gardens of the Washington Bulb Growers in the Skagit Valley. Love the clean lines and clear color of these yellow tulips.

Washington's Skagit Valley is known for its tulip and daffodil fields and hosts a tulip festival every year during the month of April. The tulips are very very early this year due to a mild winter and an early spring and this photo was taken the middle of March when a number of the fields were already in bloom. The photo was taken late in the afternoon and look east toward the foothills of the Cascades.

This was taken in the Skagit Valley of western Washington among the fields of the bulb growers there. At the time the photo was taken the tulips were just starting to bloom and the daffodils were at their peak. We'll be going again before long to see the tulips and the gardens of the main bulb growers.

Spring is very early here. We would not ordinarily see the Skagit Valley tulips in bloom until April, but they are already blooming in some of the fields and the daffodils are all in bloom. My wife and I were out Monday, March 16th to photograph the early wildflowers as well as the tulips. This was taken late in the afternoon.

Another of my wife's photos from the Skagit Valley tulip festival. This was taken in the fields, many of which are open to visitors in addition to the display gardens. The tulips are, of course, finished for another year and I am finished with photos from the festival and the fields. I may post one more this evening, but want to go on to other things next week.

A single Daffodil photographed in the fields of the Skagit Valley where there must be millions of them. Taken late in the day as the sun was setting. We are traveling ... again, so commenting will be delayed until opportunity and a good internet connection come our way.

This is another photo from the display gardens are Roozengaarde. By the time we had been there a few hours the place was jammed with people, so we went on to Washington Park and came back later in the evening when the crowds had thinned.

This is another shot from the field where many of the tulip flowers had been removed to conserve the energy of the bulbs in preparation for their being dug and sold when the foliage has died back.
