La Conner

I rode up to La Conner on the 8th of April to see some tulips.  There are many tulip farms nearby La Conner and I was hoping to see rows and rows of color.  It's a bit commercialized with the Skagit Tulip Festival and enterance fees into "Tulip Town" and "RozenGaarde".  It's one of those things that would be infinitely more powerful had it been just a farm that grew tulips.  Anyways, I thought it might be a fun reason to ride up north.  Since the weather has been somewhat cold - a bit too cold for my liking... wet and cold...did I say cold?  There weren't many tulips around to see then, they are probably in full bloom just about now.  Perhaps another ride up...  the festival is though to the end of April.  I did come by this gem on that trip, though it's not a tulip.  Photo #62:
