This is one of my favorite flowers to photograph. They had lots of pots for sale at Whitney Gardens and Nursery in Brinnon. Its WELL worth the trip this time of year.

The off season lifeguard.
This Canadian Goose was going to enforce the sign at Fairholme on Lake Crescent. He was definitely not afraid of humans, but he did not try to bite us although he got VERY close to us.
Lake Crescent rising
This was taken at the Storm King boat ramp at sunrise.
Reflecting on Lake Crescent
This was just 30 minutes after sunrise and few clouds were still dancing about for us.
Garden Rosalyn
Garden Rosalyn is a newer and smaller garden right around the corner from the BIG RoozenGaarde. They do not have any huge fields but all landscaped designs. The flowers were just barely opening when I was here. It would be even prettier in a week. I made this a little painterly–to me, flowers just seem to call for that.
Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
Skagit Valley is just a hop, skip, and a ferry ride away. The flower fields are gorgeous. I was just about a week early for the tulips. But the daffodils shined their happy faces my direction!
Not just Tulips–Go Daffodils!
I arrived early enough to the Skagit Valley Tulip festival to catch a few fields of daffodils in all their glory.
Skagit is just a few hours away by ferry.
