The downside of making a day trip to the Skagit Valley from Sequim is that the schedule – and thus the light – is subject to the ferry crossings from Port Townsend to Whidbey Island. And this, regrettably, meant no soft angles of morning light nor honeyed evening kiss on the flowers. It’s a day trip worth making and as we left we began planning a “next time” in which there would be an overnight stay that would allow pictures at either end of the day.
Oh yes, Kay, I bet these fields are an all other kind of amazing in the soft evening light. I’m looking forward to seeing those shots, too!
That overnight stay sounds like a good plan. The first photo is great.
I’ve discovered that a day trip is always lacking in enough time to savor the environment. Staying overnight seems like a reasonable plan to take advantage of the light. The close-up is a sneak preview of the beauty of the place.
Absolutely gorgeous! This tulip series is fantastic, Kay!
Ah, ferries, and the joys of living on the coast! Though you did pretty well with the light you had.
pretty pretty pretty..
without the mountains in the background (imagine more fields and a train) it could be the netherlands!
