On June 2nd, we experienced a touch of Aurora from the South end of Lake Whatcom, though most were hidden behind the mountains. The highlight was catching a breathtaking glimpse of STEVE leaving us with an unforgettable night!

😍Even with clouds, the Aurora is absolutely gorgeous! We went down to the south end of Lake Whatcom to get a few snaps in before preparing for a even later night tomorrow 🌌🤩

Last nights sunset was brief, but oh, what a magical moment! Just before it made its grand entrance, I managed to snap some rays & a spotlight over Lummi Island. The Samish Overlook never disappoints when it comes to sunsets & this one was no exception!😍🌅

I was going through my photos from this tulip season & stumbled upon some amazing shots that I completely forgot to share last week. This was just before they topped the flowers. I absolutely love the rustic charm of these images! 🥰🌷🌷🌷

Last night, I was captivated by the stunning red tulips glowing in the warm light of the sunset. It's hard to believe that this is the last weekend of the tulip festival! What a beautiful way to conclude a month filled with vibrant blooms.

Snow In a Puddle

Seen a group of snow geese near La Conner this morning while headed to the tulip fields. They are still in the valley 😎🪿

Blooming Outside Of The Box

These tulips tell a story of doing what you need to do, rather than what you are told to do🌷🌷🌷

Sunrise Over The Daffodil Fields

The sunrise from earlier this week revealed the sun as it began to emerge above the mountains, its rays extending toward the fields and casting beautiful light over the eager flowers.

What a magnificent sight it was to see the Great Horned Owl perched gracefully on her eggs this drizzly afternoon. She exudes a sense of tranquility and determination, perfectly nestled in her cozy spot, undeterred by the rain🦉🌧️🌲

Sunbeams Through the Tulips

During yesterday's sunrise, I captured one of my favorite shots to do, playing with the early morning sunlight, making it dance over the flowers, and finding the right angle to make them sparkle 🤩

What an absolutely beautiful day! I took this photo after sunrise with my wide-angle lens. I got nice and close, with the sun directly behind the daffodil, making the dew glow with sunlight through its petals.

Had a great time wondering around Friday Harbor and Whidbey for a bit today. The clouds were beautiful and the rain was brief ⛴️

The early morning light, just before the sun begins to rise, bathes the daffodils in a soft, golden glow, creating a breathtaking scene that feels almost magical 🌼
