Blossoms in Ottawa

In one week, I will be leaving Ottawa and driving to Colorado for my third (and probably final) field season.  To get my body in shape, I have been walking quite regularly in the last few days.  Plus it gives me a chance to enjoy the blossoms along the canal.

It's almost summer-like here in Ottawa.

Blossoms and tulips.

A gorgeous tree.

The space underneath the tree is very popular.

Another nice looking tree.

Here are some photos from the tree.

Experimenting with backlighting.








People enjoying the final day of the tulip festival yesterday.

One area in Ottawa that has a lot of blossoms is near the Lincoln Fields bus station.  When I saw this blog post yesterday, I decided to go there (as well as the nearby Mud Lake) the following day.

Just one of the many blossoming trees.

See!

More!

And more!

Sometimes it's nice to have people in the photos.

Tried the HDR function in my camera.  I didn't like it.

Next - take pictures of flowers with pretty pink/blue/green bokeh.

One last look before walking to the bus station.  Until next year, Lincoln Fields!
