| First
stop was the tulip fields. The Skagit
Valley Tulip Festival website had led us to believe that the
fields were bursting with blooms. Hah! I don't think so!
We managed to find a couple of colorful fields. |

|
|
The
yellow tulips really brightened up the gray day!

Wanda
liked the red tulips best, because they matched her coat.
|
|
|
| We
cruised through the small town of La
Conner. It's very quaint and pretty however we couldn't find
a parking spot. Here's a picture of the outskirts. |

|
Yes,
it's good old Skunk Cabbage, but it's prettier than those I remember
from Back East.
|
|
|
Next
stop was Padilla
Bay. It was alive with Great Blue Herons. This chap is stalking
his lunch.
|
|
|
|
Here's
another one, hiding in a bush right beside the road.
|
|
|
| Near
the refinery, we spotted a couple of Bald Eagles who looked as if
they were having a grand old chat. |
|
|
|
Good
heavens. We even had to stop and let a Great Blue Heron cross
the road!
|
|
|
| While we waited
for him to get to his destination, I took a picture of Mama Sheep
and her Lamb. |
