This time of year in Oregon's central valley Woodburn farms host the annual tulip festival. It's tulips as far as the eye can see. Excellent photo and plein air opportunity for local artists.
thanks for looking and everyone have a great weekend!:wave:

This has really captured the subtle colors of spring. Nice job on this.

Thank you all for the feedback. I decided against deepening the sky or tweaking anything darker ...afraid it would loose that fresh bright spring feel. I am always open to suggestions if something isn't working though...this is not varnished yet.
Yes, I went to the tulip festival up in Woodland WA last Sunday & got some magnificent photos!
