The Finale For The Festival
Today I bring my series on the Tulip Festival to a close with these final shots from Commissioners Park at Dow's Lake. I have enjoyed showing this year's edition, and have enjoyed your comments throughout.
Jesus H. ... I was just reading about Doug Ford and the election...what the hell is going on? He's another Trumpf! I mean, really, haven't you learned a thing after hearing about our situation? This is so sad! Does he have a chance? He doesn't sound much better than his brother. And the whole family seems as messed up as the Trump family. Yikes!
@Beth: I've seen days where it is windy with these tulips.
@Eileen: thank you!
@DJan: you're welcome.
@Jeanie: I've enjoyed showing it.
@Red: it feels that way!
@Sharon: it is!
@Karl: definitely.
@Tamago: so do I.
@Pat: indeed!
@Cloudia: thanks!
@Lowell: If the insufferable drug dealing SOB wins, hopefully it's a minority and he can be held in check. If he loses, his demented supporters (pretty much like Trumpites) will never get over it. If it turns out to be an NDP government in the province tomorrow, that is fine with me.
I have never seen so many tulips in person so Thank You for all the photos.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.
What does the city do after they die ?
