For Cee’s flower challenge today, I had to share some pictures of the tulip fields that we visited. After living in Washington State for a few years now, this spring season was my first chance to see the tulips in Skagit Valley, about an hour and a half drive north of Seattle.

It is the serene and peaceful kind, where you can hear your own cold breath, the distant clip-clop of horse carriages, a brave artist playing the violin or saxophone and the intermittent chatter of other people.
