Various Locations

 One day during the festival, I stopped by the Canadian War Museum. Planters around the front and side include tulips.

At the north side of the Museum is a full bed of tulips.

This particular day included heading over the Ottawa River into Gatineau to photograph tulips over there. Along the way, I stopped across from City Hall, with these tulips in a planter in the foreground.

Coming back from Gatineau, I photographed tulips, with the Chateau Laurier as the background.

A short walk away in the downtown core, more tulips in a raised garden outside an office building. Note the statue in the background, as you may remember it. It's part of a pair of sculptures of an indigenous hunter and a deer, unseen to the right.

On another day, I photographed these tulips at a residence near Commissioners Park.

These were outside St. Giles Presbyterian Church in the Glebe.

And my last shot for today- a bunny near a tulip in a front yard in the Glebe.

Delightful

 More tulips from this first visit to Commissioners Park.

All of my visits to Commissioners Park this year ended in this south end of the park, with a collection of homes as the backdrops for the main beds.

What do dogs think of the tulips?

A final shot. Tomorrow we'll move to other areas, but we'll be back here in the park again.

Cheerful

 I continued on with my walk.

Another early morning dog walker.

Some standalone beds are in this southern portion of the park, and they tend to bloom early.

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.
