Looking At America's Most Beautiful Sites & Colorful Tulips


I saw that which you see here via Microsoft/s Windows Edge browser's Start Page, a photo gallery purporting to be America's Most Beautiful Sites And Destinations.

The text explaining this collection of beautiful American sites...

America the beautiful

America is home to some of the most beautiful sights on the planet, from teetering skyscrapers to wildflower meadows and glacier-filled national parks. Here we take a virtual tour of the USA's most stunning places and attractions to inspire your next stateside trip.

I do not know if the America's Most Beautiful Sites And Destinations link will work in all types of browsers and mobile devices.

The above screen cap is page 1 of this gallery. Upon seeing it I thought it looked to be a tulip field in my old home zone of the Skagit Valley.

Upon reaching Beautiful Site #22 I had confirmation this was a photo of a tulip field in my old home zone of the Skagit Valley.

The text accompanying the photo...

Skagit Valley, Washington

In the northwest corner of Washington state lies a valley that could have been plucked straight from the Netherlands. Come spring, millions of kaleidoscopic tulips, irises, and daffodils spread out in neat ribbons, brightening over 1,000 acres in Skagit Valley. It's one of the best floral displays in the western States.

There were three other beautiful American sites in my old home zone of Washington state. Mount Rainier and the mountain's wildflowers, the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park, and the hills of the Palouse in Eastern Washington.

My current home zone of Texas has three of America's most beautiful sites. The bluebonnets of Texas Hill Country, the Hamilton Pool Preserve, and Caddo Lake.

Of the Texas beautiful sites I have only been to one, that being the bluebonnets of Texas Hill Country. The bluebonnets, along with other wildflowers, really are a beautiful site to see..
