The Tulip Festival starts tomorrow, just like in the pre-covid times! It's been 70 years since this festival started to commemorate the friendship between the Netherlands and Canada and the participation of Canadian forces in the liberation of the Netherlands after the Second World War. As a sign of thanks the Netherlands sent one million bulbs of tulips to Ottawa, and that's how this tradition of tulips started. The center of the festival is Commissioners Park, where all the special events for the 70 anniversary of the festival will take place.
The highlights of the Tulip Festival this year will be:
🌷 Presence of Princess Margriet in the Opening Ceremony at The man With Two Hats monument in Commissioners Park on Saturday 14th at 11 am. Princess Margriet was born in Ottawa after her mother Princess Julianne sought refuge in Canada during the Second World War.
🌷 Tulips at Night. The tulip beds will be lit daily from 8 pm to 11 pm.
🌷 Tulip Walking Tours, daily from 10 am to 5pm. $10 per person.
🌷 The food stands are back.
🌷 Fireworks on Sunday 22th at 10pm for the grand finale.
For more information, check out the festival's website: tulipfestival.ca
Are you planning to attend these events? It's going to be amazing!!

I hope everyone stayed safe during that crazy storm we had yesterday and that the damage, if any, was minimal to your homes and properties. Hoping people are able to get their power back soon!! Take care everyone!!

What a weekend! What looked like an uneventful and normal long weekend turned out to be one of those serious weather events. When the thunderstorm started I thought it was going to be one of those summer thunderstorms I witnessed during my first summer in Ottawa, with torrential rain, thunder and lightning. I felt excited because I hadn't seen one of those in a long time, and because we don't have these back in my home country. But during the storm, my house vibrated with the thunder. 😳 For a moment, I thought it would be necessary to go to the basement. I still remember the tornadoes that hit this region in 2018, which caused a lot of destruction. Well, the storm passed, and later I found out what damage it caused. In my neighborhood no big trees were unrooted like I saw in pictures. But the damage is extensive in some places. What affected us was the power outage that lasted a whole day in my neighborhood. It was the first time for us here that a power outage lasted this long. But while it was a real nuisance not to have electricity, there was a good side of things for the family: since there was no TV available, no computers, no cellphones, we talked more, we read more, we did some exercises. When the power came back everybody ran to their electronics! 😏How was this experience for you? Were you scared of the thunderstorm? Do you have any damage? Did you have a power outage? The picture today doesn't have anything to do with the storm, but during it I thought that was the end of the Tulip festival! I haven't gone to Commissioners park since then, but I know there were nice fireworks over Dows Lake last night. Did you see them? Have a great day! 😊

I love how our city is surrounded by tulips. 🌷🌷🌷
I received a comment on my previous post from a person from the Netherlands saying it was so nice to see Dutch tulips in other parts of the world.
I explained to him the history of the Tulip Festival in Ottawa and the connection to his country.
I find myself appreciating and loving our city more and more, especially after the enduring pandemic. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful city and country.
Hope you all have a fabulous long weekend ! ...
Tried out some new Ranunculus flowers for this bouquet. They make such a pretty addition to any bouquet.

Parliament Hill and tulips go so well together don’t you think.🌷🌷🌷
While we still have some construction cranes at Centre block (which I removed from this post ☺️), at least the construction tarp is no longer on the East block.😀 ...
Beautiful Ottawa in Bloom! 😍❤️🌷

Finally visited the Canadian Tulip Festival in ottawatourism and it was such a delight 😍🌷. If you’ve never been, here are 6 reasons to go this year:
1️⃣ cdntulipfest is the largest tulip festival in the world. You can see over 1,000,000 tulips on display throughout Ottawa.
2️⃣ This year is the Platinum Jubilee 70th Anniversary, which makes it extra special. So special, Princess Margriet from The Netherlands came to visit and officially open the festival 👸🏼
3️⃣ It’s in our nation’s capital, which is a truly beautiful city. The weather is perfect for exploring and the dining options are endless (will share this in another post).
4️⃣ Tulips only bloom for 1-2 weeks, so this will be your only chance to see such a magnificent display this year. The cdntulipfest goes until May 23rd!
5️⃣ You can witness a part of Canadian heritage and history. The tulips signal a long-standing friendship between The Netherlands and Canada, dating back to the Second World War when the Dutch began gifting Canada 10,000 a year.
6️⃣ It’s FREE to attend! 😉
Ottawa is a hop, skip and a jump away from Toronto and you can get here by plane, train or automobile. Head to my Ottawa story highlight to get a closer look. #myottawa [ad]

Last weekend of the cdntulipfest 😢 I am missing it already!
In the past few years I went out shooting mostly for sunset. This time I was out 80% for sunrise and I have no regrets. Light, tulips and lack of crowds were perfect. This is one of the photos taken right after sunrise last week!

Home first to the people of the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation, Ottawa has been shaped by the history of Canada. Situated at the intersection of three rivers and two cities, we bring together the past and the future, city and nature, English, French, and Indigenous communities. We are the confluence of peoples and cultures that shaped Canada and, as its capital, we connect our citizens with the rest of the country and the world.
