Today I made my annual trip to Skagit Valley for the Tulip Festival. The bloom had been so delayed by the cold spring that I thought I wouldn’t go this year. But at nearly the last minute (well, the last official day of the festival), I drove up to the valley early and arrived pretty much before anyone else. Usually I go three or four times a year but I knew this would be the only visit for this season.
Although tulips are not my favorite flower, or even my favorite flower to photograph, no other captures light and holds it so vividly, offering it gratefully back up to the sun. – g
