A rainbow of tulips

The other day I took a drive up to Skagit County to see the ever so popular "Tulip Festival". It was well worth the drive. I went by myself, and I'm so glad I did. It was a beautiful day and I had a chance to relax and to spend time with the creator, enjoying his creation.

I stopped and ate lunch at this cute little diner called "the coffee corner". I came in and sat down on a bar stool at the counter. There were a few other people there. Two old men were sitting in a booth playing cards, a couple of business men were obviously there on their lunch break, and another man also sitting at the counter reading the paper. I sat and chatted with the owner who was making my lunch on the other side of the counter. We talked about his life, tourists, and how his wife owned the restaurant across the square called "The lunch Box". I thought it was a very clever business move to own two restaurants right next to each other, both offering completely different lunch menus.

Anyways, I finally made it to the flowers, and this is what I found.
