Rogue Tulip
"Self-preservation is the first law of nature." - Samuel Butler
----
Every May thousands of tulips pop up around Ottawa to take part in the annual tulip festival. Normally these flowers show up in large clusters around city parks, in planters on popular streets and on Parliament hill.
But every year the squirrels do some gardening of their own and decide to transplant some of the bulbs.
I think these rogue tulips are my favourite part of the festival. They're random and nonsensical. You never know where you'll happen to catch a glimpse of a random pop of colour.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
