Opening vernissage of Regeneration

This exhibition will continue for two weekends and will end on June 5, 2011.  Was fun meeting all the artists again and to see what everyone was doing over the winter.  This was my friend Shannon's first exhibition.  We shared some food and a glass of wine.  Shannon and I will man the gallery next Saturday.

Here is a link to the 2011 expositions - In August, Cathy, my sister,  and I will share our work "Walk on the Wild Side".

Spring on the Hill

Here are a few from the Hill on Friday the 13th.

The Tulip Festival - such a beautiful time in Ottawa.

The History - In 1945, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands donated 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa to thank us for our hospitality during the Second World War. The Dutch Royal Family was exiled and came to Ottawa for a place of safety. Princess Margriet was also born at that time in one of our hospitals. The first Tulip Festival was held in 1953 and continues on.
