A Riot of Colors

We, like so many folk out there, like to take photos from the plane when we're taking-off or landing. Sometimes they're interesting, more often we bore our friends with endless pictures of crop landscapes and cloud arrangements. We think they might take more kindly to our slideshows if we were lucky enough to fly over a field of tulips...

It looks like HUGE Flor Tiles, in their striped colorways. How delightful!

Washington's Skagit Valley probably looks pretty good from the air, too: http://www.theseattletraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/fields-of-tulips.jpg

I love how wonderfully color-coordinated each field is.

Hey Shayna, 'twas nice to meet you last night! You can see these fields of color here in CA - just fly over the ranuculus fields down in Carlsbad. :)
