Every season on Whidbey brings extraordinary beauty and spring is no exception. Mushrooms fade away and spring bulbs bloom. Bare limbs on the trees burst forth with ever-changing shades of green and colorful blossoms. New life bursts forth all around us.

The landscape becomes a feast for the eyes.

The sheer volume of blossoms on this tree looks like heavy snowflakes.

Special thanks to Terra Anderson and Tom Buxton for allowing me to photograph their beautiful farm, Raven’s Roost.
