I recently visited the tulip and daffodil fields in Skagit Valley, WA. Due to a late and cold Spring, the tulips were just beginning to bloom and the gray skies made for some less than stellar light for photography. Still, it was a worthwhile experience, and a beautiful sight. Here are a few pics....

lots of red...
a luscious peach...
I'm not able to post additional pics at this time...after a long time loading I get kicked out to the general garden forums page. Very odd. I'll try again later.
another try...daffodil fields...
Success! There were a bunch of kids on a field trip, and their rubber boots came in handy for jumping in all the puddles...
Looking down on the daffodils...
tulip and fly...
Hmmm....I'm having trouble once again. If anyone would like to check out additional pics of the bulbs and the rest of my trip (snow geese, eagles, etc), here's a slideshow: http://35mmmacro.smugmug.com/Nature/Bellingham-area/16763027_mfTpMG
Interesting. Copy the URL for this thread, go to the bottom of the page and click on "Contact Us." Let Admin know what the problems are that you're having and see if they can fix them.
Oh my, all those bulbs. So many flowers blooming. I have never seen so many growing outside of pictures from Holland.
Thanks faeden...it seemed to be intermittent yesterday, and it appears I was the only one with this issue. If I run across it again, I'll definitely let admin know.
Newyorkrita, it was quite a sight. I wish I'd visited when they were at their peak, as I'm sure it is even more spectacular when all the fields are in bloom. :-)
