Today’s Blog Post
I don’t have words this morning to describe what I saw and felt yesterday.
Yesterday my wife and I walked around Ottawa with my Uncle, Aunt and my mom. We did the tourist thing for sure. But what a tourist thing it was!
One part was breathtaking for sure. Another part was impressive. And other parts we downright boring (for me at least)!!! (That was the tour of the Canadian Parliament building – where a chipmunk kind of young university talked to our hot and tired group of adults like we were children – sheesh I hate tours!)
Let’s stick with the breathtaking part…
It rained a lot and I wondered how we could do what we planned. But rain stops and the overcast skies provide fantastic photo ops!
There is a hidden treasure in Ottawa… where only a few of the Canadian population ever get to see it. And actually I think that few Ottawa-onians – actually take time to stop and see it either.
That is their wonderful National Capital’s Commission Tulip Beds – or the Ottawa Tulip Festival.
Each time we have taken the time to go and walk through this treasure our lives have been touched again by unbelievable beauty. It happened again yesterday. WOW!
I will not try to tell the story over again how Canada was involved in the Second World War… and because of what our soldiers and also Ottawa did for Holland… Holland blessed Canada with millions of Tulip Bulbs and these wonderful flowers… you can read about that in many places…
But today I simply let these beautiful Tulips of 2011 tell their own story.
Be blessed with what you see….
(And forget the talking University Student chipmunks… too hot… too long… and you won’t like it!!!)

Really Beautiful, Murray. The water drops enhance the photos. we've been several times, but I don't remember the large, carved, decorated tulips--they are really something!
Glad you could take your relatives to enjoy this part of their Country!
