@melostrom Thank you, Melissa !

@joan_rivard What a beautiful pic!💚

Things are looking a little dramatic this evening!

Siri tells me that this beautiful old tree is a Red Horse-chestnut. LOVE those colourful blooms! 🩷🧡💛 #redhorsechestnut

@FinlayDave Those furry ears tho 💙

I met Rocky today. It was a good Wednesday.

#sunset’s at 20:38 today. Summer solstice, here we come!

Many #tulips are past their peak now. But look at these frilly beauties! 🩷

Fig thoroughly enjoyed her first sniff of … Apple?Plum?Cherry? 🌸🩷🌸

Ottawa police horses strolling down a busy section of Bank St today, cool as cucumbers, giving the younger horses a little extra practice with traffic.

@melostrom ❤️❤️

Your Monday Mocha.💚🐶

Goodnight, Sunday - what a truly gorgeous day you were.

@KarynCurtis21 Thx! Such exotic blossoms🤍

@joan_rivard Beautiful!

Because of our climate, we don’t have huge numbers of #Magnolia here, so it’s always nice to come across one !🤍

Driving by, this tulip bed looked a little pale and uninteresting beside beds of scarlet and orange, tbh. But up close I fell in love with this inspired mix pf sherbet-coloured blooms! #KeepCalmTulipOn @CdnTulipfest

Rainy day yesterday but the tulips at the Tulip Festival were tulipping on! 🌷🌷🌷 #KeepCalmTulipOn

So many wonderful goodies in vol 47 of Prairie Fire. Reading her “December 22”, I feel I must share some brain cells with Joanne Epp! prairiefire.ca #poetry #poetrylovers

@joan_rivard @ConnorMockettWX Ottawa doesn't look like that! (Kansas not Canada 😉)

As a sunset photographer, there are certain sunsets that are ingrained into my brain. Over the past 7-8 years, I have photographed hundreds of sunsets. Tonight was a Top 3 sunset of all time for me in my career. It just kept going & going, & had colours in every single direction.
