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.
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.
