Lake, Tulips, And Cat

More from these lovely beds along the west side of the main path at Commissioners Park. 


I returned to the main beds.


I noticed the cat again, lapping up attention from passersby as it stayed near its yard entrance. I stopped to say hello.


One bed along this stretch was not yet blooming. But if you looked closely, some were ahead of the pack.

  1. Cat seems to be plotting it's next move =^..^=

    The tulips are just wonderful, so many colours.
    These virtual tours are glorious, can almost feel the sunshine as you guide us along.

  3. Beautiful flowers again and such nice weather - cloudy here.
    Your cat there is quite shy. We have a black one that comes right up, lies down and shows it´s belly to be cuddled (and I do, as everyone).

  8. I always love the few in such a large flower bed. The tulips with a different color, such as the two white ones in your first photo. :-)
