Tulips aren't the only crop for this lush agricultural area. It just seems that way in April as the tulips take center stage.

Harvesting Tulips

Harvesting Tulips

Each April near Mount Vernon, WA, the fields come alive with a variety of colors from millions of beautiful tulips. In the early morning, harvesters work quickly, sometimes in damp, cold weather to gather the tulips for market. On this day, the sun came out, but the woman pictured still elected to protect her face from the "nip" of the morning hours. Farm labor in Skagit County is provided mainly by the Hispanic members of the community. It may not seem like very glamorous work, but they take pride in supporting their families by working in this beautiful environment.

I am a professional photographer from Redding, California. I have enjoyed photography since my teenage years, but only got serious while living in northwest Washington. The mountains, the streams, the wildlife, the woods--it's just one of the most fabulous places I ever seen. I also enjoy people photography doing mostly family portraiture, high school seniors and some commercial model/product work. I look forward to establishing a great association with Everywhere Magazine.
