Location
Every year, in Ottawa, Canada the Nations Parks gardeners create profoundly beautiful beds of tulips in a park near Dows' Lake. Huge beds of tulips are a tradition in Canada , because many bulbs have been gifted annually by Hollands' royalty. After WW2 ended, Queen Juliana of the Nederlands donated many of their tulips to thank Canada for its military assistance to Holland. If we can, we go for a stroll through the Tulip Festival to note how the horticulturists relate through plantings. The effect is breathtaking.Time

When you 'catch the wave' , whatever strikes you as moving , demonstrative, exciting... go for it- that is, think of how you can share your visual excitement. Leading the eye in an exaggerated manner can help to share the intellectual discovery within the scene.
