Hello friends,
I will just let you know right off the bat that this post is going to be 99% beautiful flower pictures from this weekend! I know there is an overwhelming amount of pictures here, but I couldn’t cut it back anymore. They were so pretty and colourful!
This weekend we went to the Tulip Festival in Ottawa, ON Canada. It was on Sunday. We had a relaxing morning and then got ready and headed out. It took us probably around 20 minutes to find a parking spot and then we had to walk back to where the tulips were. There was soo many vehicles and people everywhere it was a little overwhelming! haha Definitely worth it though!
As soon as you got to this park all you saw was flowers. It was absolutely stunning. We were right by the water too which made the day even more beautiful. The weather was perfect and the sun was shining. It would have been a great thing to do with your mom if she lived in Ottawa! (#mothersday woo!)
This day has now gotten me obsessed with flowers in the spring time. I can’t stop looking at them! The colours are so vibrant.
Like I said, there was a lot of people there and everyone wanted pictures in front of the flowers! There was soo many little photoshoots going on. All I was focused on was the flowers though! haha And my loving boyfriend had the patience of an angel with me stopping every 2 feet to snap a picture of another flower that looks the same.
I wanted to play around with different angles and focusing depths. Trying to get professional looking flower pics!
Down below is a slide show of three pictures. If you look closely you can see that there is a little bug flying in the first one, it lands on the flower in the second one and then in the third one you can see his little shadow behind the petal! I didn’t even know I got this until I looked at the pictures when we got home. So, what I learned from this was that you can never take too many pictures of the same thing!
So once you walk through all the flowers, you’ll get to the “food court” of the festival. There was a lot of cool little food trucks and stands with basically anything you wanted.
And of course we made a pit stop for some fries and later on ice cream! It was 24 degrees out, us Canadians need our ice cream when its that hot! haha
They also had a small band playing live music!
At the other side of the festival we walked down by the boardwalk along the water. Such a beautiful day to be outside. There were people kayaking and canoeing all over the water.
Anyways, that is it folks! I told you it would be mostly pictures! Next post will be back to continuing the winter road story, I just had to share these beautiful flowers with you all! Have you ever been to a tulip festival? (This was my first!) What is your favourite type of flower? Let me know in the comments below!
Until next time,
xoxo

Wonderful photos. I was at the tulip festival sloshing through the Oregon tulip fields last year with Mt Hood in the background it was wonderful. Got there early to beat some of the crowds and had a lovely lunch at the food stands while listening to a band play. Great times.

Wow! So many beautiful shots, Phoenix! You have definitely given me a bad case of spring fever now. 🙂 I think my favorite photo was the one that you tool that had all of the other people taking pictures of the flowers. That was just cool. I liked how it portrayed exactly what you were discussing — all of the folks taking photos. Anyway, thanks again for the great pictures and for bringing spring to me.
