Flourish

 Continuing on with the beautiful tulips today. In the background of this first shot, the not so beautiful- a hideous infill house that is a blight on the neighbourhood.


The bed here goes along a low stone wall, with the road above pulling away to the east.


Over on Queen Elizabeth Drive, the traffic island includes a wealth of daffodils.


And across the way, I photographed this view of the lake itself. On the far side, the wooded parkland is the Arboretum.


This dog was being very patient with its human.


I finish today with this shot. I've always liked this house. Now it has the misfortune to have that aforementioned ugly infill across the street from it.

  6. Our tulips have now bloomed and are finished for the year. We will have to wait until next year to see them again.

  8. The red chairs make a striking photo. Someone clearly thinks that house is anything but ugly otherwise they wouldn't live there.

    1. Bad taste, I suppose. It has been put up for sale at least twice. Whether or not it sold is another matter.
