Today, I went to downtown Ottawa and Gatineau to check out the Tulip Festival in these parts of the cities.
Blossom next to the US embassy.
Tulips at Major's Hill Park.
There are much fewer tulips here, but they still draw quite a crowd.
The colours are quite complementary.
View from a distance.

There are also some tulip beds next to the Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization), so I crossed the Alexandra Bridge to check them out.
Seems that there is an event happening at the museum.
While there, I did some bird-watching and saw a Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis).
I also saw this Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) digging for things in the ground.
It looks like some kind of juicy larvae to me.
Malak's Bed is very tiny, but it provides an interesting view because the background is the Parliament Building.
Other tulips near the museum.
Parliament Hill.
May 17th is Norway's National Day, and it was celebrated at the Canadian Museum of History.

Last look at the tulips at Major's Hill Park before I head on home.
