Ottawa's Tulips Festival

Like every year in Ottawa, the Tulips Festival put a bit of color in the city. I took the pictures in Dow’s Lake and along the Rideau Canal today.

Aren’t these flowers just gorgeous? Flower Power!

    Oh my God,

    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I know not the names of flowers (I am not much of a flower girl), but I like looking at them where they should be…it is one of the best gifts nature has come up with :D !

    You are an artist, girl!

    Cheers

    @barbara – You’re right! And in Canada, after a long snowy winter, colorful flowers are a lovely thing.

    @Bluefish – You should come one day ;-)

    @Adem – Oh daisies are cool too… I love flowers in the spring!

    @Guillermo – Gracias!

    @Tulsa Gentleman – Oh, I know, I’m getting old and boring :lol:

    @Gail at Large – Isn’t nice after lots of snow?!

    @Seb – Bears eat flowers, don’t they? ;-)

    @Bill Miller – See, you were close, I’m getting into birds!

    @Seraphine – Ottawa is a good place to bloom ;-)

    @RennyBA – I’d love to visit Amsterdam, Holland looks like a nice place. Maybe we do that half-way thing…

    @beaverboosh – I’m sure it does, I’m sure it does…

    @DianeCA – Yep, I’m like a bird flying North when the snow melts.

    @Shantanu – Is it rare in India? Never realized that! Which kind of flowers do you have?

    @Tanya – Yes, it’s an historic thing: Holland gave Canada the tulips after Canada sheltered the royal family during WW2.

    @RG – Lilac? Must be colorful too!
