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.
