Blooms

 Carrying on where I left off yesterday, I looked towards the beds on the other side of this north end of Major's Hill Park.

With backdrops like Notre Dame, the National Gallery, and the Peacekeeping monument, these beds are irresistible for the photographer.

I continued on. These tulips are found by themselves up slope in the park. We'll carry on here tomorrow.

Tulips

 Returning back into Ottawa, I came into Major's Hill Park, where in the north end of the park, there are tulip beds.

Park

 Continuing on with my visit to Jacques Cartier Park in Gatineau, to take in some of the Tulips during the festival.

From behind this big bed of tulips, and looking downslope towards the Ottawa River. The Macdonald-Cartier Bridge spans the river heading back to Ottawa.

Park

 Jacques Cartier Park lies east of the Museum of History. Here at its main entrance is a larger than life statue of the legend of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team- Maurice "Rocket" Richard. In May, the flowerbed behind him is lined with tulips.

On my way to the big flowerbeds in the park, which lies on the Gatineau shore of the Ottawa River, I noticed this lone tulip. Brought this way, perhaps, by squirrel gardeners.

There are two large flowerbeds filled with tulips, on either side of the central staircase.
