I thought I’ve seen a lot of Tulips in my days until I went in the Mt. Vernon area north of Seattle. A nice fertile valley perfect for growth. They have an annual Tulip festival which is very popular. Caught these right after sunrise hoping to catch some nice sun, instead we got some cloud cover which gave a nice filtered light.
