Skagit Tulip Festival at Mount Vernon.
It is pretty much a must for a photographer to make the 2 hour drive up north to the tulip fields from what I gather. Not that it wasn’t worth it. We had a lot of fun, especially the girls. Lucy, of course, loves anywhere that allows for her to run like the wild child she is. Lila is your typical 4 year old little girl and was in flower heaven looking at the different colors, patterns and types. We brought some home with us (and some fudge, its great if you are going grab some!)
Last week I got a bunch of new camera toys, one of which was the 105mm macro lens. So prepare yourself for a lot of super up close flower shots. I might have went a little overboard. I went into the tulip fields with the plan on only getting a micro shot of a pink one to hang in Lila’s very pink room and well you can see how it ended up. A lot of these will be making their way to our walls now!

Wow Christina! Those colors are so incredibly vivid. I called Marty to the computer knowing her love for flowers, and she went ballistic. My grand daughters so so beautiful- I’m so proud of them, and of course you and Christian. What makes me especially happy is that you all like it so much up there. I’ve only seen pictures through the years, but I somehow knew you’d feel that way.. We’re looking forward so much to seeing you next month. If you all want to spend a night out here, we have plenty of space. Love to all.
