I would have never thought that in Ottawa on May 1st that the tulip blossoms would have peaked, but that’s what has happened this year. Depending where in the world you live, this might either be late for the peak or early for you. For Ottawa it’s at least 2 weeks early, by the middle of the month when they should normally be peaking and Ottawa celebrates with it’s Tulip Festival, all of the tulips will be gone.
The classes for the spring photo workshop aren’t scheduled to start until this coming Wednesday evening and the first field trips until next weekend. In order to make sure that we didn’t miss out on the tulips, we added an extra field trip day to the workshop. The above photo was taken this morning at the tulip beds in Commissioners Park at Dow’s Lake on our bonus field trip. So if you live in Ottawa and you don’t want to miss out on the spring blossoms, get out this week with your camera!
