Although the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is winding down, I couldn’t resist sharing one more photo of the beautiful tulips I captured earlier this month. My sweet husband spotted this single “loner” red tulip hiding in the millions of yellow tulips. He is very observant as this shot was almost fifty feet away from us! Aren’t these tulips incredibly beautiful?!?!?
These beautiful tiny flowers are called Grape Hyacinths and return every year in our rockery. They have a light fragrance and are one of the first bulb flowers to poke out each spring. In between rainstorms, I captured this great close-up – just a few inches away – but luckily it is still too early to worry about bees! Isn’t the color incredible!?!?!?!
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, in Washington, USA held each spring is one of our favorite places to visit. Thousand of tulips bloom each spring. I’m so proud to share that one of my photographs caught the attention of AARP Washington for their Washington Picture of the Day!!!
Mowich Lake is a lake located in the northwestern corner of Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State at an elevation of 4,929 feet. Although the main road to the lake was closed for the season, my husband persevered dodging huge potholes in our truck off-road. And we were rewarded with this amazing area to view Mt. Rainier and have a picnic! Isn’t this view absolutely breathtaking?!?!?!?!?!
I am absolutely petrified of spiders, but in honor of Halloween, I thought I would share this shot I captured of a creepy spider. Thank goodness I had a long lens so I did not have to get too close! Doesn’t this picture almost make your skin crawl?!?!?!
Here is another great shot of a beautiful fall day at Gene Coulon Park, in Renton, Washington USA. I was standing in the middle of the road when I took this picture, and luckily my husband was watching out for me in the traffic! Isn’t the color beautiful in this photograph?!?!?!
Gene Coulon Park, in Renton, Washington USA is one of my favorite parks! At the main entrance is a beautiful line of trees. I captured this shot yesterday during a beautiful sunny fall day here in Renton. Aren’t the colors absolutely incredible!?!?!?!
The Monte Carlo Casino, officially named “Casino de Monte-Carlo” is located in Monaco and first opened in 1863. And if you are a James Bond fan, you will remember seeing him making his grand entrance in several different movies! During our quick visit here, I was very lucky and made $10 on a slot machine!! Isn’t this an incredible architecture!?!?!?!
