Here at Whidbey Life Magazine we like to focus our stories and photos on all the wonderful things that take place here on Whidbey, but this week we’re making an exception to visit a nearby treasure.

Many islanders take a short trip to Skagit Valley each spring to see first the daffodil and then the tulip fields. While there, it’s worth stopping along the way to see fields full of migrating Snow Geese.

This week WLM photographer David Welton took a quick trip and brought us these photos to share with you. If you are so inclined to see the Mt. Vernon area fields for yourself, this weekend will be prime viewing with the warm, dry weather.
