Spring flowers: Our readers show their photo skills with blooms
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.”
Pete Eartheart, June 17, 2017: “Iris 98-41-1 J1 Walker” struck Eartheart’s fancy at Cascadia Iris Farm, Lake Stevens.
David Carlos, April 14, 2017: “Tulip Town, Mount Vernon.” David is a prolific contributor to The Herald’s Reader Photos web page, and his striking photos have been selected several times for our Community Extra page.
Bob Coleman, April 15: These “delightful orange beauties” were captured at the Skagit Valley Bulb Farm in Mount Vernon. It is one of more than 500 photos Bob took of flowers that day, he said.
Ronn Beams, March 30: “I shoot the daffodil fields in Skagit County every year, looking for ways to see what’s there in a way a little different from my past shots,” Beams wrote.

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.
