Various Locations

 One day during the festival, I stopped by the Canadian War Museum. Planters around the front and side include tulips.


At the north side of the Museum is a full bed of tulips.


This particular day included heading over the Ottawa River into Gatineau to photograph tulips over there. Along the way, I stopped across from City Hall, with these tulips in a planter in the foreground.


Coming back from Gatineau, I photographed tulips, with the Chateau Laurier as the background.


A short walk away in the downtown core, more tulips in a raised garden outside an office building. Note the statue in the background, as you may remember it. It's part of a pair of sculptures of an indigenous hunter and a deer, unseen to the right.


On another day, I photographed these tulips at a residence near Commissioners Park.


These were outside St. Giles Presbyterian Church in the Glebe.


And my last shot for today- a bunny near a tulip in a front yard in the Glebe.

Beside The Canal

 Continuing where I left off yesterday, there's a small bed of tulips across from the main bed I showed yesterday.


I continued walking along the Canal, where there are more tulips along the way.


There is a bed that's on a raised wall here.


The path leads towards the Flora Bridge, which links the Glebe with Old Ottawa East on the far shore. A bed of tulips was in the foreground.


Beyond the bridge, and beside a pond linked to the Canal, another bed of tulips.

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.
