The Colonel And The Park In Season

 Up slope from the tulip beds, I took these shots looking back at them, here at the north end of Major's Hill Park.

I passed along the railing overlooking the Ottawa River, photographing more tulips.

That included some that I would imagine are left in the ground after they bloom, given their places among these plants.

More tulips are found around and behind the statue of Colonel John By. He was the British military engineer who oversaw the building of the Rideau Canal, which lies behind me, down at the base of the bluff. This statue looks out over his achievement. By is considered the founder of the city of Ottawa.

One last shot, looking down the length of tulips with the Colonel's statue at the far end. We'll return into the series following the theme day.
