Ottawa Tulip Festival

Sometimes the petals have ragged edges.


And sometimes they are a single colour.


Sometimes they have a single round of petals, and sometimes more.

I remember this one is called Queen of Night, and I think it is my favourite photo from that afternoon. I love the shadows cast by the petals.

  1. I had forgotten about the Tulip Festival. Thanks for the visual reminder! I have happy memories of picnics by the canal, the flotilla!

  6. The shadows in the last one are lovely. I also like the ruffly edged ones near the beginning
