Springtime in the capital





The tulips are out in full force in Ottawa, making the city quite colourful. We had a rainy, rather cold weekend here (only five degrees here this morning...yikes!), but it was still time for a bit of sightseeing.

The tulips above are some of the beauties in front of my building.

My parents came for a quick visit this weekend and on Saturday morning, we headed off to the Rockcliffe Rockeries for a bit of a walk. As you can see, it was raining, but the flowers didn't seem to mind.


There are more daffodils than tulips on display at the Rockeries, and here are some peeking through the wet grass.



My favourites are the grape hyacinths! Love the colour.
