clever

Skagit Valley, Washington state

with the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival officially beginning last Friday, thought it would be clever to go down on Thursday, and thereby avoid huge crowds...well...hundreds of other people had the same idea...not-so-clever after all

this first stretch through the fields passes hosts of daffodils, waning at this point in time, and not much farther along the tulips are currently on show, masses of them

Yikes, that is a lot of people (too many for me!), but a sparkling shot nonetheless. V

Seeing the flowers in bloom on a lovely day makes it all worthwhile. V

Beautiful capture of the busy scene and in lovely light. Such an inmense site of the flower field, David. VVV

Interesting and very effective how the traffic lanes are split here. The sea of flowers seems to be attractive to many, even on a Thursday.

Even though you plan to miss them was thwarted you still got such a great image ~V~

Orderly! :)

It must have been pretty warm that day judging by how some people are dressed. Looks like it was a beautiful display to wander through, crowds notwithstanding.

Yes, well, Friday would have been even busier I am sure! Earlier the better, or maybe later the better :)

Looks like you still had a fine day!

What a gorgeous day to be out photographing tulips - too bad along with several hundreds :(

Probably still more clever than Friday. Good information in case I ever get the chance to get there.

Oh well.. Try during a full moon.

It would be difficult to stand still and shoot with this amount of foot traffic.

Just you and a few hundred others! Looks like the perfect day to see this pretty sight.

This is a interest shot. Seem the stream separates the traffic..
