Tulip Festival

We had beautiful weather this weekend in Seattle. Clear blue sunny skies on both days. Last night we watched the sun set over Lake Washington. It stays light later here than in Boston — the light from the waning sun was still visible after 9pm.

On Saturday we drove up to Skagit County for the annual Tulip Festival.

This was our first experience with the tulip festival. Next year we need to get an earlier start. The traffic can get pretty bad. It's amazing how popular tulips can be. The crowds remind me of the Autumn "leaf peepers" in New England.

Note: I finally started using my Flickr account. You can see a larger version of the photo by clicking on it.
