Tiptoe Through the Tulips

I'll be doing Wall Wednesday again soon - I haven't had the time to collect images and contact artists int he past few weeks. I'll be back on it soon ( I miss doing it) but for today I'll give you a little color on this rather dreary spring day (at least in my part of the world).

Last week I pulled my kiddo out of school to take her, and my mom to see the tulip fields in Mount Vernon, Washington. In all the trips I've made to Holland I've never gone to see the tulip fields there - and I have lived just 45 minutes away from these fields for nearly 15 years now. I have nothing against tulips, I'm just lazy! It was stunning. The dense stripes of bright colors, set against the blue sky and mountains in the background was completely awe inspiring. Next time I am feeling grumpy or blue, I will just close my eyes and remember this:

Gorgeous! Every year I say we'll go, but we still never have.
