Had a quick walk around the park this morning and still no spring flowers in bloom there … yet. I was hoping for some daffodils, though we did see some ground loving bluebells still in bloom.
However, we did see the Bee Hotel had survived the winter and is ready and open for business.
In celebration of the sun finally coming out after three days of snow and rain, another magnolia.
For my last entry into #TheCompoChallenge I gift you Monet’s Bridge, as it is called here, in Québec City. This wonderful recreation is in my local park, the Bois du Coulonge. Which was once the residence of the Governor General of Canada (till fire burnt down the building) and is now a public park.
Today’s submission for #TheCompoChallenge and in celebration of it being the first day of Spring, Cherry blossoms in front of St. Matthew’s church on the rue St. Jean here in Québec City.

As seen while out on a walk last summer, this Canna Lily begged me to take her portrait. And how could I refuse, she was so pretty framed by the red brick. #TheCompoChallenge

Today’s image for #TheCompoChallenge, the Whale Tail, is another iconic building here, in Quebec City. It was the main entrance to the Art Museum or the, Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, but now, since they built the new main pavilion, is a secondary entrance.

Week five of #TheCompoChallenge, and we’re all about the Golden Ratio. Today’s photo was taken on the Terrasse Dufferin here in Quebec City, along side the famous Chateau Frontenac. In this shot you can see the Victorian pavilions to the left. And to the right, a bandstand, and flying a flag up on the hill is the Citadel, and the Governor General of Canada’s official residence along side the 22nd Regiment.

This week’s #TheCompoChallenge is all about framing your subject. Which, of course, is easier said than done. Do we go literal or imaginatively? I hope my choices this week reflect the challenge at hand.
