Today I have a photo post over at my writer's blog concerning the recent discovery of 215 graves of indigenous children at a former residential school. Just click on the link for the blog in the side column at right and it'll take you there.
I paid a return visit to Dow's Lake and Commissioners Park, site of the largest tulip bed displays. En route to where I intended to start taking shots, I saw this cat come out of a yard looking for attention. I think this is the same cat I photographed last year dozing at the back of a tulip bed.
I carried on past the south entrance to the park. East of the Bronson Avenue Bridge where the Rideau Canal widens into Dow's Lake is another flower bed. It was filled with tulips.
I returned to the south entrance to the park and started taking shots.
Cute cat and beautiful flowers again.
ReplyDeleteI read about that discovery. Horrible times.
ReplyDeleteThat cat knows it's a star! Beautiful flowers and very moving photos over on your other blog.
ReplyDeleteThe last shot is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tulip fields never get tired to see them. The cat looks well fed ! Besides her little Rosie is a skinny minnie !
ReplyDeleteI learnt a few days ago about the 215 graves of indigenous children being found in Canada - unfortunately inhumanity is universal. These dark deeds shame us all, but it is best to confront them and make sure that such things never happen again.
ReplyDeleteTulips and cats, a good combimntion, I love them both!
ReplyDeleteMagnificas as fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
