This afternoon was a working from home afternoon. So after getting home just after 1pm we set off to Skagit Valley to check out the tulips. Having read the field report yesterday, weather aside, now was the best time to see the tulips. The first bloomers were out in full blast (or whatever the technical term is), the middle bloomers were on show too and the late bloomers were just starting to bloom. It was bloomtastic!
The weather was overcast but when we got there – after taking route advice from the lady in the tourist office – but we managed to see a few fields with the mountains for a back drop. Soon after however the rain began to fall and then it hoofed it down. But never mind. The fields were beautiful and a return trip next year with the sun shining is definitely remaining on the to do list.
