Amusing photo on Facebook, this Sunday morning of the 7th day of the 2024 version of April.
The photo was posted by KOMO #SoNorthwest Photography's Facebook page.
KOMO is the call letters for Seattle's channel 4 ABC network TV station.
The attempt at humor here, with the text, "Seems the Skagit valley had some heavy rain..." is suggesting that so much rain fell that Orcas, also known as Killer Whales, made it to the tulips.
Those who have never seen the Skagit Valley tulips, this photo is what it actually looks like, other than the Orca. You can see the Mount Baker volcano hovering above the Cascade mountain foothills.
It is not too far fetched to think an Orca might make its way to the Skagit Valley, via leaving Puget Sound, by entering the Skagit River. Orcas like salmon. The Skagit River is host to a lot of salmon.
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival has an excellent website. This festival is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, to take place annually in Washington. And is the biggest tulip festival to take place in America.
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival runs from April 1 to April 30. In other words, the entire month of April.
There are tulip events and attractions all over the valley. The traffic jams are horrendous. A bird's eye view of the tulip fields can be had by driving to the summit of Mount Vernon's Little Mountain.
