Yesterday having had been the 70th anniversary of D-Day, I marked the occasion over at my writer's blog with a film review linked to the day. Check it out when you have a chance.
Carrying on where we left off, springtime blossoms can be found on campus at Carleton University, such as with these first three shots.
These three shots are taken at the Garden Of The Provinces, which I introduced to you just a few days ago. The blossoms of spring were out in full force.
Wow. Wave after wave of color !
ReplyDeleteThe tree in the last shot is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful blossoms. I hope they smell nice too. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty ! Our Lilacs and blossom tree are almost done their blooms now ! Nice photos , Thanks for sharing , Have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteYes! Color has indeed returned to the land. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's springtime in Canada, and the only one who's not happy about it...is William!
DeleteOkay, how did that happen?
ReplyDelete@Stuart: it does brighten things up.
ReplyDelete@VP: I think so too.
@Jan: oh they do.
@Country Gal: thank you!
@revrunner: it really has!
@Norma: winter will be back soon enough.
During my college days, I was on this campus, alas in winter to see a basketball game. Not this beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt is clear that Mother Nature favors your city in the springtime by blessing it with these glorious blooms!
ReplyDeletelove the lilacs! sure miss them!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could smell those lilacs.
ReplyDeleteLilacs.... heavenly. I can almost smell perfume floating from the photos!
ReplyDeleteMy lilacs are done. This season is too short!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the web traffic from my rant? It's going to raise my page ranking like mad!!! Just like my posts around the G8 in Muskoka!
Do you think peeps in BC just don't like Ontarians?! My son and daughter-in-law, and my brother live there!
@Birdman: depending on how long ago it was, the campus has changed a lot!
ReplyDelete@Lowell: and they're beautiful blooms.
@Tex: I love seeing them, however brief they are.
@Sharon: they're delightful.
@Greensboro: heavenly indeed.
@Jennifer: it's much too short. I took a look... nice to see they singled me out for derision. I think I'll just have to make a point of not visiting Surrey in the future.
Ahhhh....lilacs! You just made my day, William. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet the air is full of fragrance.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Goodness, so many gorgeous places to take photos. You must have a ton of portrait photographers where you live.
ReplyDeleteNice pix!
ReplyDeleteI could almost smell the flowers. I loved Norma's comment!
ReplyDeleteOh come on William, you couldn't possibly be anything but happy in spring.. it's just so.... fabulous. The tree in the last shot is probably one of the most beautiful I've seen, I want it in my garden stat :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous signs of spring out there!
ReplyDeleteLilacs are so beautiful...the only thing wrong with them is their blooming season is so short.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that blogs can't convey smells... :-)
ReplyDeletesuperbe il ne manque que l odeur ;o)
ReplyDelete@Linda: it's a pleasure.
ReplyDelete@Judy: it is!
@Krisztina: there's no shortage of inspiration.
@Cheryl: thank you.
@Mari: thanks!
@Grace: at this point it's a bit hard to move!
@Jose: we have a lot of it!
@Kay: all too short.
@Ciel: c'est dommage!
@Le Regard: merci!
I can smell those lilacs!
ReplyDeleteLovely Spring images!
ReplyDeleteI think I fall in love in your Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteThose lilacs must perfume the whole area!
ReplyDeletethey are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhen ever I see photos from spring, I miss springtime which we do not have it here.
The lilacs are so lovely, William.
ReplyDeleteI was so sad when our lilac finished. It doesn't last long, does it?
ReplyDelete@RedPat: they're wonderful.
ReplyDelete@Marleen: that they are.
@Mariusz: it can have that effect.
@Jack: some more than others.
@Feyza: our springs can vary each year. Some years it's a very gradual transition, as it has been this year.
@EG: that they are.
@BDP: it doesn't.
