I returned to the National War Memorial one day to photograph the tulips again.
Crossing the street, I took these shots of tulips in planters outside the Chateau Laurier.
Heading into Major's Hill Park, I concentrated on the beds around the statue of Colonel John By.
One last shot for today. I will pick up with this bed of tulips the day after tomorrow. For the theme day tomorrow, I will still be in this park, but with a different subject.
Nice to see special places in full glory.
ReplyDeleteThat's a large memorial but worth having one that stands out.
ReplyDeleteA place that should be visited...
ReplyDeleteThe flowers make the place brighter.
ReplyDeleteLovely with all those tulips!
ReplyDeleteTulipmania continues!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful again. I have not seen one tulip here, so... thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove the colourful tulips. This place is worth returning just to enjoy the beauty of the tulips.
ReplyDeleteColonel John By stands well there, raised high among the tulips.
ReplyDeleteOh does this mean the end of the tulips! A great collection of photos here William, I especially like the last.

Speaking of the War Memorial reminds me of a discussion Miriam and I were having the other day about the removal of statues that.commemorate some of the worst of our history. Do you happen to know whether there is a statue commemorating our Peacekeepers? That was surely one of our great initiatives and worthy of celebration,
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth another visit William, wonderful captures 🌷
ReplyDelete...Ottawa is full of history and the tulips just add to the beauty.
