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.
Not just Tulips–Go Daffodils!

I’m Just Ducky…
I had fun watching these two ducks at Lake Crescent. They did everything in perfect synchronization. It was like watching duck synchro swimming!
Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
It was just barely blooming when I went this year (April 5th) this year– I went to a new smaller garden right next to the big ones. It was called Garden Rosalyn. It was all sculpted with beautiful wavy lines. There were no big fields. It was beautiful. I can only imagine when in full bloom.
I turned this into a Van Gogh style painting.
La Poel
This is a tiny campground that has been closed on Lake Crescent. But you can still park at the entrance and walk down to the wonderful stream that pours into the lake.
Lake Crescent Sea Monster
This is a log that sticks up near the shore at Lake Crescent. All my friend and I thought it looked like a big fish swimming by. (I added the fish eye for effect)
Sunny in Seattle
Who said it always rains in Seattle? (WE just say that to keep EVERYONE from moving here..)
Lake Crescent waking up in the clouds
We had a break in the weather, so got up at 0 dark thirty to be able to arrive at the lake before sunrise. We were hoping for some clouds to make it interesting. Mother Nature did not disappoint!
