Spring Ahead

For Mellow Yellow Monday ...

With up to 35 centimetres (13.78 inches) of snow forecast for our area overnight and into tomorrow, I thought I'd focus on the positive: Spring is coming. Eventually. In the meantime, I figured these colourful tulips were a hopeful reminder of what lies ahead. These photos were taken last year at the Ottawa Tulip Festival.


There really were tulips as far as you could see. Thousands and thousands. Very beautiful.

What - more s***!?!? I didn't visit my weather site yet today and now I'm scared to. We may be in the crosshairs, too, here in S. Ontario. Well, thanks for the tulips, they are easy on the eyes!!

I always plant a few tulips every year. The first year is always the best. Thanks for the lovely photos.
