There is some sort of magical about these covered bridges.. this one seemed to be in the right place at the right time too. It's a wonder how these bridges as old as they are; are still standing and such good shape... Love seeing them. This one was drawing quite a crowd on this "leaf peeping" sunday drive. We were headed up to "Sunday River" a ski resort here in ME to their fall festival and made this stop a long the way. Days like this are numbered here and all seemed to appreciate the lovely day. Motorcyclists were out in abundance and it was the perfect weather for it.. The fall festival was fun and different. A big sales boost was on for seasonal lift tickets. They had a zip line but we were all too chicken to try it.ha! and did see bikes being carried up on the ski lift and people riding down... a lot of fun was had by all.
Took one of the nice days we had and made the long journey up to La Conner for the tulips! I remember the days of coming over the hill and seeing tulips everywhere - not so any more. Think those days are gone forever, however there are still a lot of flowers! Nothing quite like walking these lovely fields of tulips as far as you can see! Farmers have gone in more for food and so not a lot of farms anymore growing flowers but enough I guess. I think they mostly all belong to one family but there is at least one other family still farming the gorgeous bulbs! Had a picture perfect day and loved every minute of it. They don't last long and we missed them last year when we stopped in Holland, Michigan and they had had a warm spring and tulips and come and gone by the time we arrived in late April!
