Canvas to the Imagination

I’d almost forgotten about processing and sharing the rest of my photos from the Tulip Festival I went to a few weekends ago. It’s been mostly overcast and rainy here lately so the eye-blasting colour is a pleasure to look at.

A full set of my photos from the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival can be viewed as a slideshow on Flickr.

On the weekend Boris and I did a day trip across the border into Washington to see the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. It was a warm sunny day, perfect for spending time outside looking at masses of flowers.

When we drove up to our first stop (a farm with giant fields of yellow and red tulips) my mind was a bit blown even though I knew what to expect. It’s one thing to see pictures, and quite another to have such intense colours shining back at you and stretching on into the horizon.

What you can’t see here are all the other people hanging about wandering through the flowers. I managed to make it look as if we had the place to ourselves.

I have more photos to upload and will be adding them to this set on Flickr.

Early spring in Vancouver was cold and rainy, and it felt as if warmer weather was never going to arrive. But those precious warm blue sky days have come at last and I’ve been getting outside to make the most of it.

I snap an endless amount of photos of the beautiful flowering trees found everywhere in our city at this time of year. I cannot get enough of them, their beauty is always a magical sight to see.
