Woodburn Tulip Farm

It's been 5 years since I last visited the tulip farm, my first experience in 2002 was breath-taking and i was so taken in by the endless rows of tulips overlooking the horizon. We went to the Tulip Farm in Woodburn last Sunday, and it was great sunny weather. Sadly though, it didn't really keep up to my impression a few years back. The flowers were still pretty, but fewer. Our friend TS is a very experienced photographer with good 'gadgets'...so we were lucky to have our pictures taken together. At this point though, he has yet to process the photos to share (I will definitely update this blog with his 'professional' shots) which Wye insist he should get a better camera, as when we get to compare photos taken with both cameras and their effects...we'll see.


We spent a couple of hours walking through the rows of tulips. Some bigger bulbs were the Hit for photos (bright orange and red), while there were rows of dark purple tulips which weren't as popular. The girls LK and Y bought some tulips to take home after the trip. There were many species of tulips and bulbs for sale there. Loads of ppl visited that day, mostly gathered at the food stall (long queue for curly fries, burgers, elephant ears and ice-cream) and kids busying at the Free Games corner. I had my face painted for USD1 hehe...just for fun. We then headed for lunch at Mc D's and the Factory Outlets for shopping after. It was an enjoyable ( a little tiring for me) trip, and first time getting sun-tan this year!
