Folkloric

Visiting the Skagit Valley, an area north of Seattle that is home to some of the prettiest farmland.

It's head of tulip-mania in the Springtime, pop-up fruit and berry stands dot the roads every mile or so in Summer, and right now there are gourds and squash and pumpkins galore.

I've been to visit once in each season so far this year, and watching the changes has been amazing.

I love how in touch the place feels with the cycle of the weather and the changing months, and how in each distinct season it remains beautiful and full of bounty.
