Skagit Valley Tulip Festival....

Ready, Set, ...Better to wait a week... then Go....

The Daffodil Fields are all in and looking Great....

However, there are only 2 Tulip fields that are showing their colors, but even they aren't to full color yet.

The best suggestion I have at this point for coming up to see the Tulip Fields is to wait a week, then come on up.

Check out The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival's Official Bloom Update and Map for a complete update.

There is good news... The Tulips should be in Full Bloom during the Downtown Mount Vernon Street Fair (Friday April 20th, 2007 through Sunday April 22nd, 2007 from 10:00am - 6:00pm each day)

Real Estate Photography Class...

I took a fairly advanced class in Real Estate Photography today. It was interesting hearing some of the tricks of the trade in getting that perfect picture of a building or a feature of a building as well as some of the things done in food photography.... Lets just say that the burgers you see on TV will NOT be consumed by anything other than a trash can....

I found the class to be very educational and it got me thinking about the pictures I've taken for my listings and how they can be improved.... This last sentence is the reason I took the class! I would have preferred it to be more hands-on, but it was still a good class and 7 1/2 clock-hours to boot... Not bad for $97

If you'd be interested in taking a class in Real Estate / Architectual photography and you're in Western Washington, I'd suggest calling Dennis Huckaby at (360) 332-1570 or Send an E-Mail to huckaby1@comcast.net

I've been an avid hobby-photographer for years and know a good amount about photography... I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but I'd say that I'm a good semi-pro....

As a result of a phone call with Dennis as well as some nice home-staging from the Seller, I had a listing photo go from this:

to this:

Nice improvement, eh...?
