The tulips are starting to bloom - a sure sign of spring!
Ottawa is famous for its tulips. We even have a Tulip Festival in May when visitors come from all over to admire the city's many tulip beds. The tulips in the city gardens are an annual gift from the Netherlands - given to thank Ottawa for providing refuge for their royal family during World War II.
I don't have many tulips - and those I do have risk being eaten by squirrels - so I have to photograph them quickly. Last year, I admired one lovely tulip, ran into the house for my camera, and by the time I was back, the flower had been snapped off and was gone!
Oops! It happened again! Those nasty squirrels!
