Mount Vernon, Washington is known for tulip fields but before the tulips bloom they have beautiful daffodils!
Dear and I took a quick trip north to see anything blooming Saturday morning. We saw some beautiful daffodils but a great surprise was seeing Trumpeter Swans! Trumpeter Swans come to Mt. Vernon each year for a time! The swans are dwindling now but they still were great to see…
The largest of the North American native waterfowl and one of our heaviest flying birds, the Trumpeter Swan is large and white. It holds its long neck straight up, often with a kink at the base.
Please visit Mary at The Little Red House to see more mosaics!
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

Gorgeous color!
Wow … wonderful photos and marvelous mosaics! Love the daffodils and the Trumpeter Swans in flight. My Mosaics are at Sacred Ruminations today.
Hugs and blessings,
Beautiful…I look forward to flowers…
OMG those are just beautiful. I couldn’t do a Mosaic like that. I don’t even know how you do it LOL But I love the colors and the one of the birds is just amazing to me 🙂 Well done.
Love it! Can’t wait for the tulips! I want to go this year. The swans are beautiful too.

Beautiful daffodils – great way to get the spring feeling!

I didn’t know that Daffodils are grown in Mount Vernon, Washington. Beautiful photos.
Good heavens look at those daffodils! So beautiful! And all those swans! Funny, but now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed swans flying about or landing in large groups. Huh.
Thanks for visiting me for mosaic monday!
And since I arrived via your profile on blogger I have to comment on your impeccable taste in movies and books – many favorite movies and favorite authors, I was so delighted to see them listed! 🙂
What lovely photos and those photos make lovely mosaics! Thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Those trumpeter swans are magnificent….as are your photos.
They must be a fabulous sight to see in person.
Love your daffodil mosaic also…..looks like Spring is on it’s way.
I just love daffodils! Nice mosaic.
Wow, nothing says spring is finally here like the daffodil! Beautiful pictures that make a lovely mosaic. The photos of the swans are amazing.
Wonderful mosaics of the daffodils and the swans! 🙂
Hi Ellen, these are the flowers that we do not have a farm full of blooms in SoCal. I will settle at Descanso for their tulips.
You captured those swans soaring!
daffodils and tulips….not much better than those!!
one day I want acreage where I do basically that same thing…plant rows and rows of bulbs!!
Daffodils are such happy looking flowers and where I live, Ontario, Canada, the daffodils are still many weeks away. Nice to see some flowers. Great pictures.
The fields of daffodils are stunning! Beautiful sweeping bands of color!
Wow…gorgeous photos of flowers, and birds! This is the time to rejoice..
Good honk! The pictures are wonderful! The sea of color is majestic.
smiles, alice
What great color–a carpet of yellow!
Gorgeous yellow daffodils, and birds!
Beautiful! I love daffodils!
OH! Those fields of daffodils are just beautiful!
I enjoyed reading this, Ellen. I’m waiting for swans to return to a marsh near me but haven’t seen them yet. I’m glad you’re seeing swans in the Northwest.
Thank you for entering my give away. I’m sorry that you didn’t win, but I enjoyed your support of my niece Holly. I love your tulips!
