Bonnie and I decided we wanted to get some sunrise shots of the tulip field in Woodburn this year.  We met up at 6am in order to drive down there before the sun rose.  It was nice here when we left, but once we left the highway and headed towards the field, the fog was settling in...by the time we arrived to the field we could hardly see to the end of the rows.  Not what I had in mind at all, but it made for some different shots that most people don't get.  

 That is a windmill out there.  

Here is a closer view of it.  

So since there was not going to be the typical shot of the layers and layers of tulips, I focused on some close-ups.  See that little web all coated with dew between the yellow and red one?  

The drops on the flowers really seemed like jewels...each petal was edged in little balls of glowing water.

The rows of flowers always make for a cool shot when there is blue sky at the end, but this time the fog ended up giving everything a mysterious look. 

I liked the reflections in the mud puddles

 This is what the sky looked like as soon as we got out of Woodburn.  Oh well, we made the most of what we found down there.
