The first day of the month is a theme day for members of City Daily Photo, and for June, that theme is Smile. Check out other takes on that theme right here .
I am in the midst of an extended series on the Canadian Tulip Festival, which was held here in Ottawa and Gatineau in May. I shoot enough photos over the course of a couple of weeks or so to last me well into June. The biggest single site is Commissioners Park at Dow's Lake, which is where I'd left off yesterday. Tulips certainly seem to be the source of smiles for my readers.
These two dogs caught my eye; one closed in too quickly for me to get it in frame, while the other seemed to be smiling.
The tulips drew me on.
Across the path, another bed.
The tulips are truly wonderful to see
