Tiptoeing Through The Tulips And The Mud

     Continued From Yesterday:
     On Friday Romaine and I took an excursion out to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm.
     The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm is 40 acres of tulip fields located in Woodburn, Oregon, about 30 miles south of Portland.   Each spring when the tulips are in bloom the farm holds its Tulip Fest, during which the public may visit the tulip fields.

    And so we spent the afternoon walking through the lovely variegated fields of colorful tulips,   

...and, because Portland is just coming off the rainy season that makes it a temperate rain forest and one of the world's premier  growing regions,

...through fields of mud.

   Still  people for the most part came well-shod for the occasion and it appeared that a fine time was being had by all.

     Along with walks through the tulip fields the Tulip Fest also offers  children's and family activities,

...a food truck court where we snagged some delicious Mexican,

...and a gift shop where one could purchase, among other things, bunches of fresh-cut blooms:

 ...which was fortunate, as Romaine decided that a bunch of tulips would be a nice thank-you to a couple of folks in regard to the
doggie-shines of a certain roving pooch (see yesterday's post).
