One day in mid-May I went onto the Portage Bridge to photograph the view of the river downstream from there as I do a couple of times a month. On this occasion I carried on along the bridge to where it enters Gatineau. There is a flower bed here that I know of, filled with tulips at the time, a mix of pinks, whites, and yellows. A pleasure to see.
Tulips from previous years have spread into the nearby lawn. Evidence of the productivity of squirrel gardeners.
One more for today. We will carry on here tomorrow.
So many tulips! Re: My mural post - The elfin character in 1940's Coke ads turns out to be called "Sprite Boy."
