Oregon's Willamette Valley is incredibly fertile land, home to countless farms that grow a giant variety of produce, hops for beer, grapes for wine, and plants and trees for landscaping. One such farm produces acres upon acres of tulips. Each year during peak tulip blooming season, this farm hosts the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival where thousands of visitors come to take in the vast array of tulips. Nick and I visited the festival on a crisp Sunday morning last March and of course I took loads of photos.
Tulips happen to be one of my favorite flowers (besides orchids and roses!). I particularly love the pinks and purples, and there were lots of both! So many gem-toned blooms! I couldn't get enough. But eventually the crowds were getting a little annoying so I called it a day. Thankfully we went early in order to beat the majority of the crowds. Here are some of my favorite photos from that morning.
More after the break...
