請看四月十二日西雅圖郵訊報頭版登的這張照片﹐捕捉得真好。
圖中的兩兄妹﹐在雨後的鬱金香田裡﹐混身是泥﹐正把靴子裡的水往外倒呢!

西雅圖北邊一個多小時車程的史蓋吉郡﹐自認擁有北美輻員最廣的鬱金香田。
Skagit County has more tulip acreage per capita than anywhere in North America ...
the Canadians have an awesome festival in Ottawa,
他們說：雖然加拿大的渥太華每年有燦爛奪目的鬱金香節慶﹐可是
but their blooms are displayed mostly in large and small patches
那裡的花田都是大小不一的田畝和花籃拼湊起來的。
and baskets throughout the city.
所以﹐晴也好﹐雨也好﹐呼朋引伴﹐來這裡走一遭!
It is very inviting to walk through the fields rainy or sunny.
We never get tired of visiting the place and
even invited friends out of state to visit the festival every year.
The picture tells a lot of colors and interpration.
看了報導﹐決定趕緊去賞花﹐
也驚覺一年容易﹐
我家去年那個在花前還坐不太穩的娃娃﹐現在已經滿地跑了。
女兒的同事看到外孫女玩得起勁﹐拍下一段錄影﹐她一邊跳舞﹑一邊說
"Cheese!"
