Tulips & Turkeys

The first weekend that I was in Seattle, Kathy & I went up to the Skagit Valley to see the tulip fields. Unfortunately, the unseasonably cold spring weather had delayed the tulips, so that the tulip fields were just beginning to blossom, but the daffodil fields were seas of yellow and the tulips in the demonstration garden were beautiful.

We also went to LaConner, where we discovered that there is a flock of turkeys that roams the streets of the town. I have never been so close to a live turkey in my life. A lady came out of here house and fed them bits of bread.
