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!

I had no idea Ottawa had a tulip festival. Beautiful!
We just had a lilac festival in Rochester too, the parade was really awesome.
@barbara — You’re right! And in Canada, after a long snowy winter, colorful flowers are a lovely thing.
@the writer — Thank you!
@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
@Gail at Large — Isn’t nice after lots of snow?!
@Seb — Bears eat flowers, don’t they?
@Nigel — I emailed you
@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!
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

You are an artist, girl!
