Spring Beach Colour: Tulips

Alas they are finished, but the tulips at the beach were spectacular this year so I thought another look would be nice. Hope you find your favorite colour.

Midnight Raider

This little guy raids the watering can to get a drink. Seems like he is too lazy to walk to the beach. The only thing missing from these pictures is Aunt Sandy who loves racoons.

401 Gridlocked!

The 401 was gridlocked as a result of this single car accident just west of Whites Road. Reportedly, the driver was on the way to a dip in a suburban pool. The traffic on the eastbound highway of heroes was backed up from White's Road to just past Trafalgar Road while the rubberneckers caused the westbound lanes to backup past Sir John A. MacDonald Boulevard to Montreal Street. Due to the hot weather, and long delays, reports indicate that the driver of this car was not the only one to overheat that day. An anonymous source within the insurance industry indicated that it will be a while before this driver is eligible for "Grey Power". However, a deal for commercials may be imminent.

Room to Move

Vincent had plenty of room to move on Uncle Marc's "big and thick and luxurious1" lawn.

Quick Change

Applause from Vincent followed by wine from the host after a quick change. Yes, this is a shared job.

Chef at Work

Uncle Marc the chef at work grilling up another batch of great steaks. Yummy with fiddleheads.

Terra Cotta Conservation Area Trail

Uncle Marc took Vincent to the Terra Cotta Conservation Area where Vincent enjoyed the wildflowers which are not purple loosestrife. I thought I had a wildflower book but it must have been exiled to a box somewhere to make way for Vincent's room.

Frogs of Terra Cotta

Can you spot the frogs we saw in the pond at the Terra Cotta trail.

March of the Caterpillars

The Terra Cotta woods held thousands and thousands of caterpillars climbing up the trees. The woods sounded like it was raining although nothing could be seen falling from the trees.

A Trip to the Glassblowers

Uncle Marc was living dangerously when he took Vincent and the family to the glassblowers at Williams Mill in Georgetown. He left Vincent alone to admire the artwork while off taking pictures. Fortunately, Vincent kept his hands off the glass work and we escaped without any damage.

Two Minutes with Vincent's Mouth

Two minutes in the life of Vincent. Wonder what he is thinking! Could it be " Would someone wash my face; Please.
