Polynesian Day 2015 University of Washington

So I have been a bit behind on posting new and upcoming things to the blog! But don't worry, there will be lots coming within the next couple weeks as a ton of events start to pick up in the month of May.

This past weekend I headed to photograph the Polynesian Day at the University of Washington, one of the biggest cultural events that takes place on campus each year. Thousands of students pass through this event throughout the day to watch cultural performances based around Polynesian tradition.

PolyDay, as it is more commonly called, consists of dances and singing throughout the day. The event lasts for several hours and takes place on Red Square, so people can gather at the event in between classes.

UW head football coach Chris Peterson takes a photo with several players who attended the event to support fellow players involved with the event.

There were so many cool different kinds of traditional costumes for the performances!

Danny Shelton, former UW football standout, was a huge supporter of the event.

The event concluded with a traditional Polynesian chant and all of the performers gathering on-stage to dance and celebrate together.

They put this event on every year and it was great to be able to take part in it through photography.

Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest in Woodburn, OR

Spring sprung early! The Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest in Woodburn, Oregon, which goes on every year, was moved up early because of the warm weather causing the tulips to bloom early. On one of my last days for spring break, the family headed down to the fest to check out the vibrant tulips.

When we got there, it was amazing to see just how many tulips there were! Literally acres!!

The tulips were so vibrantly colored and there was so much variety in all of the tulips. It was crazy muddy, but this made it so worth it to walk around in the fields.

It was cool to look out in the fields and see the rows of different colors. It was almost like a rainbow with the different strips of color in the fields.

I made sure to take some close up shots of the tulips in addition to the shots with the unbelievably full fields of tulips. There was also a field of daffodils towards the back that made some wonderful close up shots also. One of the shots I love is the one with the yellow tulip amongst a group of red tulips. This contrasted wonderfully!

After we were done looking at the fields, I went to check out some old machinery that they had on the outskirts, the windmill and a live musician that they had outside of one of the tents there. I also loved seeing how many families were out enjoying the sun and tulip fest!

If you're in the Portland, OR area, I HIGHLY recommend that you come out and check out this festival before all of the color is gone for the year. While it's a little muddy, bring your boots and wander the fields because it is worth it!!
