Photo Of The Day, April 21, 2013 - Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

April is when people in the Puget Sound area go bonkers about tulips. It's practically a law that you have to go to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in April, so I don't fight it. I just go and take more tulip photos every year. It's allowed - you get a waiver for the month of April from the Photography Police as long as you don't speak of tulips the rest of the year.

A trip to the tulip fields is fun, mainly because you get to see people making fools of themselves. Photographs of people jumping into the air were popular this year.

It rained for a short while when we were there. Once the rain stopped it was lovely, as our friends in England like to say.

Yes, it rained. This is the Pacific Northwest, right?

It was a beautiful spring day here in the Pacific Northwest, and I liked the converging lines and the bright colors in this shot.
