Flower Power

24 September 2007By Zhu 14 Comments

The whole world can worry about global warming, here in Canada we enjoy it (as long as it doesn’t melt our piece of ice up there). We should be seeing red leaves and have chilly weather on the way, but flowers are blooming everywhere. Go figure!

Experimental Farm

The Pink Lake

The Experimental Farm and the Gatineau park (and its famous “pink lake”… actually very green). Blue sky, vivid colors… definitely not fall !

Red Leaves

Yellow Flowers

Sure, there are a few red leaves… but look at these flowers !

Pretty Flowers

Little Bee

Purple Flower

Blue Sky, Blue Flowers

It’s beautiful on Parliament Hill (I’m not talking about politicians…).

Parliament Library

Raccoon!

Ottawa River

Ottawa River Sunset

If I take a sick day at work, is anybody gonna believe me ???

Deadpoolite : I wouldn’t even dare to take you out of my blogroll. We all know about Greek revenge stories ! Seriously…!

Jess : thanks !

Webmiztris : 80 degrees ? Wow, that must be hot ! Oh wait a sec… you mean Fahrenheits, right ?

Silverneurotic : well, don’t forget Canada is also cold and snow… a lot of both probably coming soon !

Dumdad : Thank you ! Means a lot to me – I struggled with English at first, it’s never easy to write in another language… but I’m trying and it’s much easier now !

Moving to Wordpress… well, Blogger is great to start a blog, but I wanted to have my own domain (vain me !) and I was interested in the other side of blogging, the codding. WP also offers a lot of flexibility, I can tweak my blog as I want ! So I made the move.

WP.com isn’t that good, I’d recommend Blogger. But self-hosted Wordpress is pretty good

Max : I didn’t know it was hot in Europe too ! My parents keeps on complaining about the weather !

Lis : ah, a stereotype of English weather !

Itelli : Flower power, I’m telling ya !
