Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival 2017

In April 2017 Amanda Ulrich and I visited the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, a little ways outside of Woodburn and Canby, Oregon. I go at least once every year here, and always have a blast. Tulips never disappoint. And the Wooden Shoe farm is one of my favorite Northwest destinations. (The address for the farm is 33814 S. Meridian Rd. Woodburn, OR 97071.)

Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest 2016

In March 2016 the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm opened its annual tulip fest, where you can walk among the flowers in all their dazzling glory. So many colors. So intense, so beautiful. One of the best places in the Pacific Northwest.

We arrived a little after sunrise; a thick fog was still there, though burning off quickly, and four hot air balloons were landing and taking off among the tulips. You couldn't ask for anything more lovely.

Leach Botanical Garden

After our trip to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in April 2017 Amanda Ulrich and I visited the Leach Botanical Garden on the outer edge of southeast Portland.  We didn't have much time as we got there just a few minutes before closing. It is such a lovely spot though that I still had a blast. There are so many interesting plants there, and the whole estate (of about 17 acres) is serene and gorgeous...

Earlier this month I visited the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival and loved every second. It was time to go back, this time with fellow photographers Amanda Ulrich and Tiana Kai. We arrived just at sunrise with a lovely veil of fog. Paradise...
