Wascally Wabbits Upon The Roof

The Rideau Centre is a shopping mall downtown. Its rooftop is a green one, with skylights and paths mingling with flowerbeds, bushes, and grass. Tulips happen to be there in May.


This overlook on the east side looks over towards the campus of the University of Ottawa. The buildings in the background include the historic courthouse and former prison, the Carleton County Gaol. Today they house Arts Court and a travel hostel. Land beyond them has been developed to include a hotel-condo tower, space for the University's theatre program, and expanded quarters for the Ottawa Art Gallery. I really have to take you into the OAG sometime.


Along with the plants up here, there are a few resident rabbits (wascally wabbits to the esteemed Mr. Elmer Fudd, Esquire and 33rd Degree Master Mason Of The Order Of The Scottish Rite) who keep the lawn trim.


I leave off with one more look at rooftop tulips. Tomorrow is the theme day, and of course pink tulips must be part of that mix. We'll have another location for tulips after that.

  6. My wife would love to transplant our rabbits onto the roof since they routinely chow down on just about everything we plant.

  11. Hi rabbits...you are pleasing to see, and apparently having a person somewhere around doesn't scare you away. Yes yes, this person would love to have a visit to an art museum!

  30. @Jeanie: you're welcome.

    @Denise: I liked them.

    @Catalyst: I have no idea if they go for tulips. If they do, they leave these ones alone.

    @Happyone: very much.

    @Carol: they're cute.

    @Joanne: that's true!

    @Kay: they're around all year. The soil's deep enough for burrows, so they hibernate.

    @Jan: that they are.
