This evening I was looking for something specific in my photo archives. Eventually I found what I was looking for, but got sidetracked several times along the way by images that were either filled with great colors, of favorite places, or sparked fun memories, and well ... I just thought it might be fun to share some of them with you now and then!
So, I think I'll start a new "thing" here on the blog that I'll refer to as "Photo from the Archives". I know, clever, right? *grin*
I'm not going to schedule it for any particular day of the week or month, or with any sort of frequency -- it'll just be a random sort of thing. I may not say a lot about the images I share ... perhaps just a description, or location, or year. Even so, I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do!
And oh by the way, you'll find "Photo from the Archives" as a new category over in the list on the right side of the blog.
I took the photo on this post in 2003 in Skagit Valley, Washington around the time of the tulip festival, at one of the many tulip farms in the valley. The flower fields are an amazing thing to see in the spring, and I had a wonderful time visiting the fields with Dad's sister who lives in the area. Hope we can do it again sometime, this time with Alan along for the ride!
wow! very beautiful, don't think I've ever seen them growing in the fields..only in pots..thnx for the pic...

Yup, just down the road a piece is La Conner, Andrea ( baby sister) would know for sure but I think this is at Roozengard but with many hundreds of acres of tulips and daffies it is one of the most amazing places to go in the spring. surounded by haystack rock islands in the sound and high mountains right down to sea level. They have done Balloon rides over the fields and there is a small plane airport there as well. Salt air, seafood and the smell of zillions of flowers! Love, Dad

I've never seen anything like this! Thank you so much for sharing this so that others like us who live elsewhere and may never get the opportunity, can, through your eyes!!

I have a photo almost exactly like that taken at almost exactly the same time, standing in almost exactly same spot! Oh. . . that's right, we were together. I hope you, and Alan, do make it back here sometime. Tulips are blooming now. . . I stay away from that area, traffic makes me crazier than usual ;o)

All I can say is...Beautiful! I hope to visit a Tulip farm one day. It brings a smile to my face just to see the pic., so I can only imagine it in person.
Thanks for sharing!

How pretty. Is this somewhere in the neighbourhood of LaConner, Washington. I have yet to get to one of their tulip festivals. But they say the area is gorgeous.
