It has been a while since I last did a SOOC (straight of out camera) post. Today I am sharing one of a photo Dave took of me and I edited.

This weekend is the Ottawa Orchid Show at the Kanata Recreation Centre.

Spring may not be here in full effect just yet, but April is and I am hopeful.

It’s Spring! Farewell
To chills and colds!
The blushing, girlish
World unfolds
Each flower, leaf,
And blade of turf –
Small love-notes sent
From air to earth.
The sky’s a herd
Of prancing sheep,
The birds and fields
Abandon sleep,
And jonquils, tulips,
DaffodilsBloom bright upon
The wide-eyed hills.
All things renew,
All things begin.
At church, they bring
The lilies in.
~John Updike.

Today is my (29+1)th birthday.
I am no longer in my twenties and this makes me feel old.

The Tulip Festival isn’t until May (May 9 through 19 to be precise), but I couldn’t wait to share some photos of beautiful tulips because underneath all that snow, there are some gorgeous flowers growing.
