Sandra Peery, April 9: Taken at RoozenGaarde near Mount Vernon. Sandra wrote, “admiring all of their beautiful tulips and other flowers such as these crocus and hyacinths.”

We bid farewell to spring with our readers’ annual photographic paean to posies. Many pictures come in after soggy treks to the tulip fields of Skagit County, which always seem to inspire creativity. But some are discovered in your own back yards.

These photos came from online submissions at heraldnet.org/yourphotos. Submit your own photo there: It could be selected to run on The Daily Herald’s Community Extra page.
