Olympic Shades

 Just off the property of Lansdowne Park, beside the Rideau Canal, lies a particularly photogenic bed of tulips, in a circle around a statue that was placed here for the Calgary Winter Olympics. Note beyond the trees- there's a boat on the Canal.

As the path winds around the bed entirely, I started around.

Here at the far side, through a gap in the trees, we can see the Aberdeen Pavilion.

We'll carry on here tomorrow.

Tulip Colours

A reminder to members of City Daily Photo that the theme for June is Sky.

 Today I have tulips from places here and there, starting with one not that far from Commissioners Park in Little Italy.

On another day, I passed by a church in the north end of the Glebe, where there were tulips in planters and in the ground.

Lansdowne Park has tulips lining the Aberdeen Pavilion.

A few streets to the north in the Glebe, I took these around residential front yards as I passed by.

Delightful

 More tulips from this first visit to Commissioners Park.

All of my visits to Commissioners Park this year ended in this south end of the park, with a collection of homes as the backdrops for the main beds.

What do dogs think of the tulips?

A final shot. Tomorrow we'll move to other areas, but we'll be back here in the park again.

Cheerful

 I continued on with my walk.

Another early morning dog walker.

Some standalone beds are in this southern portion of the park, and they tend to bloom early.
