More garden and flower shots today. This can be found in the northeast edge of the Glebe.
While this garden is downtown. The property owners have this unusual railing as part of their garden.
Down at Dow's Lake, the plantings in Commissioners Park are very different from the Tulip Festival.
There were even mushrooms growing near those flowerbeds when I took these shots.
In Little Italy, these snowball bushes looked in good shape.
These flowers were outside St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church downtown.
While these sunflowers were across the street from Southminster United Church, in the gardens outside the Sunnyside Library.
Delightful shots, William
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and so bright!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, yet there is a remainder of the summer.
ReplyDeleteWe already have an autumn sensation.
The first picture is beautiful, but my favorite is the sunflower.
The most beautiful part of summer!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that Ottawa is an entire garden.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Great shots - there's something serene about gardens and flowers. But not the fence, which looks like a crocodile's dentures.
ReplyDeleteI like the last one, the Sunflower.
ReplyDeleteA curious assortment, I always like sunflowers!
