Daffodils At The Tulip Festival

Tomorrow is the first day of the annual Tulip Festival at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, OR. I went today because the weather was clear & sunny, it's my last day off this week & I hate fighting crowds. I've never been to this area before so I had to rely on my Garmin GPS to lead me there & back. It worked flawlessly. Considering I arrived just before dawn I did pretty good.

The festival lasts a month so I plan on returning a few more times, weather permitting. Most of the varieties of tulips aren't up yet but I found a few planters will a lovely collection of daffodils. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Stunning photos Bob, I love daffodils, they have a beauty all of their own.

The background in the windmill pic looks amazing with all those colours!

I was told the peak color for the tulips will be in 2-3 weeks. I'm sure going to make an effort to return for tulip photos & there's a huge tulip festival in Washington state 50 miles North of Seattle, WA I'd like to see as well.
