A Feast For The Eyes

I finish today with the Gatineau side of the Ottawa River and its participation in the Tulip Festival. The flowerbeds in Jacques Cartier Park were a delight, and at their height. 


I zoomed in on this Canada goose, walking around like he owned the joint.


Some final shots. Tomorrow we're back on the Ottawa side of the river to carry on.

    I think you must appreciate this floral beauty even more because of the winters you have endured. Or is that too much of a cliche? Have a brilliant weekend my friend

    I read you are having problems with fires in your area. Hope things are getting better soon!

    wow. these are amazing. so pretty. it is just wild to think that we can see the winds from the fires up in your parts of the world ... i know it is not that close ...but i wonder if you are dealing with it a bit or not? they were going on and on about New York City ...but here in VA it is nuts as well ... hope it will be okay soon for every one dealing with it, have a great week.

    I misread your first line with "gateau" - and it would´ve been true :-)
    That would be one I like... for the eyes.

    Para los ojos y para el olfato, siempre que estés delante y no sea a través de fotografías, como lo he hecho yo.
    Feliz domingo

    Such bright colors in the sunshine! I guess you didn't have the smoke particles in your air from the Canadian wildfires, which we even had this far south.

    Ottawa's tulips should be listed as one of the beautiful Wonders of the World.

    It is not common to see a goose on its own. Not around here anyway!

      There were others nearby in the park, so this one must have been with them.
