It’s the Month of April. Do you know what that means? The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is on all month.

So Hubby and I drove from our home in Everett to see the tulips. It was a perfect day too. Bright and sunny with not a cloud in the sky. Our first stop was not for anything but for Hubs to get out and stretch his legs. I got out and got my first photos …
