2012-05-07 Flowering Orchard and Ornamental Garden
Federally owned, public lands are "owned" and operated in Ottawa by the National Capital Commission, including the Ottawa River Parkways. At the Western end, the NCC leases land to the City for a bus terminal. In an effort at beautification, hundreds of flowering trees were plante a couple of decades ago. The Ornamental Gardens are a part of the Department of Agriculture's Experimental Farm.

South March Conservation Area - Ottawa, ON Canada
It is still very early spring in Ottawa. During this photoshoot it was barely above freezing, despite a strong sun in relatively clear skies. Trees are leafing out, many, just barely. They got an early start but then we were hit with a really cold spell. I will return to the Conservation are later in the year. Until this week, I had been shooting with a Pentax K200D. These photos are representative of my first K-5 photoshoot and I am relatively pleased with the outcome. | 5 | 04-29-12 09:45 AM |
