LA CONNER, WA :: Kristie and I headed North after work on Friday to enjoy a nice walk through fields of blooming tulips on a rare, sunny and warm Spring evening. Actually, little of my time was spent walking… Mostly I was just standing, waiting for the sun to peek through the clouds, or I was rolling around in the dirt trying to get a good angle on the flowers. I had warned Kristie it might be boring for her, but she still insisted on joining me, offering to carry my bag and/or tripod when my hands were full. It turns out she’s a great photographer’s assistant!
Terrific pictures John. Where did the daffodils come from, I thought this was a Tulip festival (leftover’s maybe?)? I always find it tough taking Jessica when I go out taking pictures, but it is always nice to have the company. We should plan a shooting excursion sometime, that would be fun!
Wonderful shots, looks like you had some nice light going on.
I think they intentionally plant a few bulbs of different colors or types in the fields to delight the photographers. Or it could just be an accident.
There are also entire fields of daffodils in the area (which are mostly past their peak), and irises too (which will bloom later). Most of the tulips were still buds or just opening.

Very nice! As usual you take beautiful pictures.
I like how every one of your pictures is of a standout in the field. 8)

Great pictures John. I like the daffodil the best. 🙂 Oh, and I resent Jayson’s comment. He can carry his own damn camera bag from now on. 🙂
Hello-
Every picture I have seen of yours is just stunning. May I ask what camera you use?
Thanks-

Hi Lynn,
Thank you for the comment!
To answer your question, I use a digital Canon Rebel XT and for the tulips, I shot mostly with the 50mm f/1.4 lens.
