Today kicks off the beginning of the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm’s Tulip Festival 2014! Of course, this coincides with a big rainy week in Portland right now, but don’t worry. The festival lasts March 28-May 4th, so you have time. I kept checking the weather until I found one that suited me. I also advise you to go early if you can if you want to get shots like this where there are less people in the background.
These photos are not from this year, but I thought it would be a nice summary of what you might expect to see there. Unfortunately my visit was on a semi-clear day so I couldn’t get any gorgeous snow capped mountains in the background, but maybe you can! You can also check the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm site because they often post with a little report of their current field conditions.

I always love going to this festival with the whole family, but you’re right: it does get super CRAZY crowded the longer you wait to go. Beautiful photos, and thanks for the reminder that it’s already time for the tulips!
With all the cherry blossom love that’s been going on, I just wanted to make sure people didn’t forget about the tulips!
I need to get out here! Ever since a farm to table dinner I did there last summer, I’ve been telling myself I need to get back for the festival. Gorgeous shots Pech! Thank you for the reminder!
When my parents saw the photo, they couldn’t believe it was Portland- the only other place they’ve seen photos like that are my cousins who went to the Netherlands! Yay for PDX awesomeness!
Pretty Photos!
You make me blush, I give my photos a B+ and yours an A+ 😀
