Skagit Valley Glory

I went up to Skagit Valley this past Sunday...the annual Tulip Festival is there every April...and it was gorgeous!

It really is such a lovely area...the buildings, the landscapes...the fields of COLOR...the light glinting off the raindrops that befell the petals, simply beautiful!

Of course...though, there is always, ALWAYS humor to be found:)
