Yesterday we had big plans - drive to the Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley and ride our bikes through fields carpeted with beautiful tulips, daffodils and lilies, then walk around the street fair and look at local wares. Well, that was the plan anyway. We drove up there (a little over an hour's drive) and drove, and drove, and drove, but alas, very few tulips were to be found! Mainly daffodils and only a smattering of tulips. We tried to find a place to pull over and park the car, so we could start our bike ride, but never really found a place. Plus, we argued a lot over which turns to take, etc. So, the only interesting thing that really caught my eye was a blue heron hiding in the grass, which I got out of the car to photograph (and promptly scared him away so my pictures didn't turn out so great). But here are the first photos of the day.
