A few days after my previous visit I returned to Commissioners Park at Dow's Lake, where more of the tulips were showing themselves.
Another member of the Tulip Paparazzi on the other side of this bed off to the west side of the main path. My preference for coming here is mid-week. I was here again this past weekend and the crowds were frankly too much. But we'll see that down the line.
One of these beds, with the lake in the background.
For today I finish with another of the beds on the east side of the main path. Much more in the coming days.
Very beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteThey really like their tulips in Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteWhen there are too many people around a woman I know uses the expression, "It's too peoply!" The whole world has become too people unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteUma maravilha de flores e cores.
ReplyDeleteGostei.
Um abraço e boa semana.

ReplyDeleteNot a title one hears every day, Tulip Paparazzi!
ReplyDeleteThe penultimate photo of the sweeping yellow bed is today’s winner.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a wonderful display of tulips, which are one of my favorite flowers and oh how I wish they'd be around a lot longer then they are!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you'd attend! We never go anywhere, if we don't have to, on weekends!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty in amongst the flowers, in Autumn do the bulbs get lifted and then replanting in late Winter or are they left in the ground?
ReplyDeleteGlorious colours.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought they were poppies! I just photographed some wonderful ones yesterday. Alas, all our tulips are history.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI planted some tulips this week. Hopefully when spring arrives here we will get just a little of this beauty.
ReplyDeleteWow, so much beauty.
ReplyDeleteAh, I had to pop in here before my day starts. What glorious images of the tulips. Me, a foreigner, always imagined there are only such magnificent tulip displays in Holland. You have dispelled that in my mind. Have a great day, William. Regards from South Africa (Jo)
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours, a delight to see :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan

@Karen: they're short lived.
@Jennifer: I'm pretty sure I'm done taking pictures for this year. Though the festival goes through to Monday.
@Amy: they are removed after they're finished, replaced by plants for the season, and then replanted in the fall.
@Jenny: indeed.
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: a lot of them have now passed their peak.
@Joanne: that they are.
@Joan: hopefully!
@Linda: a lot of it.
@Jo: it's become quite an event.
