Portage

A reminder to members of City Daily Photo that the theme for the first of July is Water. 

Fitting that I'm here today, as my location for that theme day is going to be taken from the Portage Bridge. This bridge crosses the Ottawa River from Ottawa into Gatineau, coming out at the government Portage complex. Here at its end, there is a lovely bed of tulips that I seem to always have to myself when I drop by in May, when the city takes part in the Tulip Festival.

Off across from the formal bed, tulips grow in the grass. Evidence of the presence of squirrel gardeners doing their own work.
