In Bloom

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

You are an artist, girl!
Cheers
@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

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

We just had a lilac festival in Rochester too, the parade was really awesome.
