Running away from it all

On Saturday Dave and I decided that we were going to leave all our work at home and run away from it all to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival(about 60 minutes north of Seattle). We were absolutely amazed at the sheer beauty everywhere we looked.

We laughed at ourselves because we just had to take pictures of each color from every perspective! That's what happens when you have two photographers with one camera and two very different ways to look at absolutely everything, even tulips! Who knew?

Rows and rows and rows of tulips.... I thought that this was my favorite color.

But then I saw these.

I have always loved yellow tulips.

And then I saw these that looked more like peonies.

And then these.

 It was incredible to see so many different colors and varieties.

I remember that at one point I thought white tulips were boring....but I was so wrong! They were sooooo beautiful!

Dave asked me to pose for this picture. I was literally tiptoeing through the tulips.

It was like everywhere we turned there was another color, another variety, more incredible beauty.

And the very best part of the day? Just spending the day with my sweetheart, running away from it all and loving every minute of it!
