...with all proceeds going to the B.C. Cancer Foundation and the Chilliwack Hospice Society. The fundraiser is the project of a father and his two children who lost their wife and mother last May to cancer. We picked a nice bouquet...which may be brightening up a hospital room soon...and we enjoyed our tiptoe through the tulips.Next week I may be taking a drive a little further east...where the tulips fields should be in full bloom.
Tulips of the Valley is a 35-acre tulip farm...open to the public for two-weeks for self-guided tours. (The photo is from my visit last season.)
And if I have not yet had my fill of tulips...I could always drive south across the border and check out the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Enjoy the season...and it's blooms!Have a wonderful weekend...
Wow, what beautiful color. Reminded me of the fields of tulips in Holland, MI, during the tulip festival there. Nothing like it. I used to grow lots of them (tho daffodils are my favorite)and always wished they lasted longer. I envy you access to places that enable you to enjoy them. Enjoy for me, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteTip toe through the tulips...
ReplyDeleteI love driving past those farmers field and half the time I'm driving to fast and can't stop for the photo shot.
Oh I love the tulip festival and last year loved taking pictures. .hmmm maybe I'll have to go again. . just to get that perfect shot. .
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures Judy. . well done.
I remember your showing us fields of tulips before. I love, love seeing them again. Hope that you do make the journey because seeing all those blooming in person must do something wonderful for the soul. Keeping your hospital hostage in prayer daily!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful color, sheets of it across the fields!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a local delight! We ave a tulip farm not far from our house - I'm hoping to get there and take some pictures in the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to see fields of tulips. It must be breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteI hope your father is improving.
What beauty! How wonderful to have all of those flowers practically in your backyard.
ReplyDeleteThey last so fleetingly but what joy they bring!
Judy, It seems to me that you have many beautiful fields of flowers in your part of the world. We do not. I love seeing your pictures, and knowing the story behind those tulip fields. How special to remember a wife and mother in that fashion. Any hospital room will be brighter with a bouquet of tulips.
ReplyDeleteWhat a feast for the eye - and what an opportunity for the photographer! I'd hoped to get a trip over after hearing about those fields, but now I think we'll have to wait for next years as things look fairly far along.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is,,,absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteStay Cozy, Carrie
My goodness...amazing and gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this beauty from your area.
ReplyDeleteJudy, those fields of tulips are just heavenly! So amazingly beautiful. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI came back to look at these lovely photos again Judy. They could be offerd for sale, they are so good!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to visit my son and daughter-in-law and grandson for a week on Monday. I'll miss you!
It is so beautiful and there is nothing quite like spring in the northwest.
