Field of Dreams

Field of Dreams

We unexpectedly took a drive yesterday and headed northeast to the Cascades, then west out to the tulip fields of Skagit Valley. It was a very beautiful and relaxing day. The tulips were at their peak bloom and the colorful fields were not only a feast for the eyes, but very peaceful. There was a soft spring breeze and quiet all around. This lovely woman passed in front of me and I just had to capture the image of her sari floating with the breeze against all that color.

  13. Timing is everything isn't it? Being at the right place at the right time is what turns an otherwise simple photo of flowers into this. Beautiful shot Kim.
