These guys like to take up a position where they can "people watch" in the afternoon sun.
This youngster pets the goat rather reluctantly because she says the hair is prickly.
The barnyard is a very popular part of the zoo. Children love interacting with the animals, and it seems like the animals enjoy the attention as well.
These really are pink flamingos, but the brilliant sun makes them seem almost white.
Although the quality of this photo is a bit diminished by the glare on the glass, I wanted you to see one of the monkeys. I don't recall this little guys technical name, but he sure liked posing for me.
The bears enjoy their own private pool in the summer sun.

One of the most colorful events of Washington State is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival held each April.
Soft pink has to be one of the favorite colors for Washington State tulips. To me, they look almost edible.
Some views make you wonder if anything else exists here other than mountains and fields of tulips.

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.
