An untimely April wind and we'll certainly have fewer cherries this year.
I love experimenting with back lighting. I take this type of photo at least a couple of times during the year. I hold the zinnia blossom up toward the sun, making sure that the background is the dark shadows of a bush. We had just experienced a downpour the night before so there are flecks of dirt on the blossom. This photo is very easy to do and has a dramatic sense to it.
Finally! The blossoms have shown up. These are from a cherry tree.
And these are on a blueberry bush.
Spring has arrived!
The setting sun on a contrail (I think).
If your are heading north on I-5 to check out the tulip fields in Skagit Valley, don't forget to catch the Cascades to the east.
This photo was taken from I-5 at Everett.
When you are in the Skagit Valley, be sure to look for Mt. Baker to the north-east. It still has lots of snow.
Don't forget to look to the southwest to catch the Olympic Moun-tains.
At times Mt. Baker is almost hidden by the foothills. The daffodils are in full bloom here.
No matter where you are in the valley, mountains are usually in view. By the way, enjoy the tulips too.
