If you have never been to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in Northwest Washington, put it on your Bucket List of places to visit before you die. It is the most amazing feast for your eyes-rows and rows of beautiful tulips in the prettiest colors imaginable. My friend Rachael used to be the assistant director for the Tulip Festival so I had the opportunity to visit her and take in all the fun and festivities. These pictures are great, but to see it in person is just AMAZING!
Look at all of these beautiful pink tulips that I am surrounded by. Photographers love it because there are so many angles and colors.
This is me and my cousin Carlie standing in a field of red tulips with some pink ones behind us. The colors are so amazing. As you drive through this area, there are fields and fields of tulips everywhere you look and plenty of places to stop for a photo opportunity.
The yellow tulips are so rich and radiant. The pink sky in the background just adds to it. Do you see the photographer in the tulips?!
There are so many fun things to do while visiting Skagit Valley. One of my favorite places was Bunnies by the Bay. It is the cutest store with bunnies and tea parties and adorable things for babies. As soon as I have a baby of my own, I will definitely have to go back and buy something there!
The Tulip Festival takes place every April. Since you can't really tell when the tulips are going to bloom, festivities happen through the whole month of April. If you visit in April, you are bound to see some beautiful tulips. It's not too late to plan your trip for this year. Or if you plan on going next year, maybe I will see you there!!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my chunky art book. It was lots of fun. No pressure to perform. Just arting for the sake of art! (ok, should I patent that word?!)
If you go to ATCsforall.com, you'll see lots more of these. It's where I first discovered them.

I live about an hour away, and I manage to make it to the festival every couple of years. Looks like it's a stunner this year!!
Oh my! Being surrounded by all the lovely tulips must've been divine! What a fun adventure (and one I'd like to do someday, too)!
