A few days back one morning I was at Lansdowne Park. Around the Aberdeen Pavilion, tulips can be found this time of year, some in the flowerbeds east of the building, others alongside the bushes that line the building on the north and south sides.
East of there where the path leads out towards the Canal are two beds. Here's the smaller one, with trees beyond it just starting to show blossoms.
The larger bed encircles a statue put up at the time of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, with two torch bearers. The Rideau Canal can be seen in the background here.
Taken from the east, these include the Aberdeen Pavilion in the distance.
Wow, so colorful. From a distance, they look like autumn leaves.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers surrounding the statue look stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scenery! 🌷
ReplyDelete...red and yellow is a striking color combination.

This is like a paradise! Beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteSuch colorful blooms, and after seeing this post, William, I checked out the previous posts and the story about the tulip festival. These bursts of color are such a contrast to the snow and ice of the recent winter months.
