Greetings, everyone, from Washington State! Having lived here for over 20 years, I've discovered a treasure trove of natural wonders, with flowers taking my breath away every spring. I try not to miss the annual blossom of Washington flowers because their colors and tones are so magnificent! And I think that such stunning sceneries can be the perfect 4K or 8K screensaver, right? Join me on this exciting 8K HDR backstage video as I embark on an annual expedition to capture the most stunning blooms on film.

Our journey begins at Skagit Valley Daffodils Festival 2022, where the Flower Farms explode with colorful daffodils from late March to mid-April. Then after April's warmth comes, their fields become full of tulips blossom! In March - April 2022 (00:00:00), I spent several days capturing these vibrant landscapes and came back on March 28 (00:11:49) and March 30 (00:28:19) in 2023 to film more! I used various cameras, including Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera 6K Pro and Panasonic GH6 with various lenses. I and my second operator Mykhailo filmed the filming process with GoPro 10, Panasonic ZS80, Insta360 Go 2, and the Autel Evo II Pro 6K drone. Don't worry, you'll see them all in action throughout the video!

Skagit Valley boasts over 500 unique daffodil varieties, each with its charm, from the classic yellow of King Alfred to the bi-colored Ice Follies. Witness the valley come alive each spring as these vibrant flowers paint the landscape in a dazzling display of color. Popular varieties include King Alfred, Dutch Master, Carlton, Ice Follies, and Jetfire. For a breathtaking panorama, hike the Donkey Creek Trail for unforgettable views of fields overflowing with these colorful wonders.
Moving on to my 2023 adventure, the University of Washington campus became my next stop. On April 4th (00:35:43), I arrived to witness the magnificent cherry blossoms firsthand. Realizing I couldn't capture everything in one visit, I returned on April 5th (00:41:47) and 7th (00:45:14) to film more of this natural marvel, making the most of my camera and the fleeting beauty of these delicate flowers.

The cherry blossoms at the University of Washington are not just visually stunning but also hold cultural significance. Every spring, the campus transforms into a picturesque scene with over 30 vibrant pink and white blossoms, attracting visitors from all over. This annual "Cherry Blossom Festival" celebrates the beauty of nature and the arrival of spring. It's a time for students, faculty, and the community to gather and appreciate the fleeting beauty of these delicate flowers. They serve as a reminder of life's impermanence and the importance of cherishing every moment, becoming symbols of both renewal and hope.
