We drove through tulip and daffodil farms on the way from Whidbey Island back to Seattle.

No dogs allowed, though.

We heated up leftover Thai food for lunch in a rest stop.

Kate stayed with Bailey and got this shot of hyacinths in the parking lot.

Blooming tree near the bridge.

I drove Bessie across this bridge an hour after getting her.

Desolation Bridge is rather famous.

It shakes when semis go by, inches from the wires that are supposed to keep pedestrians safe.

The views from the bridge are quite spectacular, though.

It was dark and raining and I was rather terrified.

Many more flowers to view in Skagit Valley.

The daffodils were in full bloom.

Crocuses, too.

I paid the $5 to go into the garden.

There were hyacinths in the garden, too.

Some garden decorations...

But mostly, it was the fields of daffodils that drew me.

With Mount Baker in the background.

But you don't have to pay to see the daffodils.

Rows and rows of daffodils.

Such a beautiful pre-spring day.

And a few early tulips.

Kate got this shot from the car!

Mount Baker, with white snow geese in a field.

We did find a few early tulips in a roadside field.

In two or three weeks, these tulip fields would be in full bloom.

Crates ready for the pickers.

We got back to Bessie and the kids in the late afternoon.

Alethia was working, but we went to dinner with Tobi and Ronan.

We will miss them!

Driving Bessie in Seattle is just a little scary.
