Today, I felt like doing a little experiment. It pretty much turned out how I had imagined, but I might need to get a new vase for my next experiment.
In honor of the upcoming Canadian Tulip Festival, ongoing for the next three weeks in Ottawa, I am sharing a bunch of Tulip shots I took a while ago. Here is a little blurb from their website explaining when and why this festival started:
In the fall of 1945, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs. The gift was given in appreciation of the safe haven that members of Holland’s exiled royal family received during the Second World War in Ottawa and in recognition of the role which Canadian troops played in the liberation of the Netherlands.
À l’automne 1945, la princesse Juliana des Pays-Bas a fait cadeau de 100 000 bulbes de tulipes à Ottawa, par reconnaissance envers l’asile que la famille royale en exil y a trouvé, pendant la Deuxième guerre mondiale, ainsi qu’envers le rôle des troupes canadiennes dans la libération des Pays-Bas.

, and because that cold winter weather is slowly creeping in, I thought I would try to lift our spirits a little bit and share some of our best sunset shots from around the world.
