Ottawa’s annual Tulip Festival wrapped up Monday. Most years I ignore the event, not being all that enamoured of watching flowers grow (though admittedly it is more interesting than watching paint dry).

However, being a dutiful husband, when my wife said “let’s go see the tulips,” I went to see the tulips. And enjoyed myself (must have been the company). We went just before sundown yesterday, not in the blazing sun like last year, which I think made for some interesting lighting. Here’s some of what we saw so you can judge for yourself.
