All this rain better mean we’re having a beautifully green and flower-filled spring. After waking up to another gray morning, I’ve been desperately searching for something to brighten my mood. Lucky for me, I stumbled upon these images of tulip fields of the Northern Netherlands. it’s hard to believe nature can produce such vibrant colors. (And can you imagine how sweet the air must smell around there?!?) A little closer to home, take a look at Paola’s gorgeous photos of the Skagit Co. Tulip Festival in Washington State at her site mirrormirror. –Erica P.
