Ottawa Tulip Festival 2021 (1)

This year, there was again no official Tulip Festival in Ottawa because of Covid-19, however the tulips still bloomed. Thanks to some early Spring weather, I was able to go to Dow's Lake and take pictures of the tulips three weeks in a row. This year again, there were no tourist invasion, which was extremely pleasant. This is a montage that I realized with pictures taken on April 29, 2021, using a Canon SX50 HS camera.

Walking through the Nepean Sportsplex Forest (2020)

Behind the Nepean Sportsplex there is a small forest with several all season trails where people do all sort of sports activities (walking, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, etc). On October 14, 2020, Marie-Annick and I went there to take some pictures of the Autumn colours.

Walking through the Pinhey Forest (2020)

On October 14, I took a stroll through the Pinhey Forest and was lucky enough to get some decent pictures. 

The Pinhey sand dune complex extends from Woodroffe Avenue just south of the Nepean Sportsplex to the intersection of Grenfell Crescent and Burnbank Street. The vegetation in Pinhey Forest was established on old postglacial sand dunes. This unique ecosystem is home to a number of plant and animal species that can live only in well-drained, open areas with exposed, fine-grained sand. 

Pinhey Forest is named after the man who donated the land in 1948, with the intention that it be used to demonstrate land conservation practices. Since 2011, the NCC has been working to restore this 10,000-year-old sand dune ecosystem.
