A pair of tulips

Tulip Little beauty

 

From my backyard, I love those little tulips.

Few more tulip festival photos

It's fun to see rows and rows. Not something you can really do at your home typically.

These tulips are called Brown Sugar

I still feel fine

 As I predicted I was between Ottawa and Montreal around 6pm today. It was one of the nicest days we've had, but this isn't spring either, it's summer :P It was a balmy 24-26C today depending where you were and sunny. Did I mention sunny?

I spent a couple of hours walking along and checking out the tulips around in Commissioners park near Dow Lake in Ottawa. It was quite pretty. I walked around under my umbrella to avoid getting a sunburn.  While I crouched to take pictures under my umbrella, apparently I caught the eye of another photographer, and he had me stay crouched a couple more minutes while he took pictures of me taking pictures :)

We saw 2 artists that were out painting, one woman in front of a tulip bed painting flowers, and one man under a tree, painting a landscape.

Ottawa Tulip Festival

I was in Ottawa yesterday and my buddy Chris and I went to see the tulips around Dow Lake. This is one picture I really love. I look forward to having an area in my garden with as many tulips. I can't help but wonder how they manage to keep them without the squirrels digging 'em out. Things that make me go Hmmm....
