This is the latest of our weekly travel photo series, inspired by #FriFotos on Twitter.

This week’s #FriFotos theme is SPRING. Each spring, Skagit Valley – about an hour or so north of Seattle – attracts thousands of visitors to their flower growing region in the state of Washington. Skagit Valley is most noted for being a large tulip and daffodil growing producer.

Amazing shot! Also, definitely a place worth checking out. I love daffodils!
Alexa – yes, Skagit is loaded with daffodils and tulip fields in the spring. Unfortunately, we were about a week too early for the big tulip bloom last year.
Oh now you did it Don! Just when I am getting used to my new home in L.A. you go and post a gorgeous shot of Skagit…no fair!
Josh – yes, it’s starting to get nice here. Certainly more sunny days that last year at this time!
Lovely! I always go to see the tulips, but always miss out on the daffodils. Looks like they deserve a visit as well. I love the yellows – so bright.
Oh, this is so cute!
What an awesome field!
Wow, that’s simply gorgeous. I want to be standing in the middle of that field.
