This week we made our annual pilgrimage to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. The cool spring climate here in the northwest is perfect for tulip farmers, so the valley is covered with acres of tulips. It really makes up for all the gray that we see in the winter here.  I took a bunch of photos and started playing around with them last night. I really need to push myself to play with type more, so this is a babystep in that direction.  The image above is just a sample of probably 50 varieties of tulips we saw.

I have no idea where I was going with that stripy image.

My photos are pretty amateur, but it’s pretty hard to take a bad picture there.

Here’s a little movie I made last year, in case you haven’t seen enough tulips.
