LA FÊTE DES TULIPES - 2025

LA FÊTE DES TULIPES - 2025 -
Par Bernard Bujold -
La saison des tulipes au Canada, particulièrement à Ottawa, est un événement printanier remarqué alors que les tulipes fleurissent d’avril à mai, selon les conditions climatiques. Plus de 100 espèces et milliers de cultivars, classés en hâtives (18-29 cm, avril), mi-saison (40-60 cm, mi-mai), et tardives (25-70 cm, fin mai). Les tulipes botaniques sont idéales pour les rocailles, les Triomphe pour les bouquets, et les Darwin hybrides pour leur robustesse. Les bulbes doivent être plantés en automne (septembre à décembre) à 10-15 cm de profondeur, en sol bien drainé, ensoleillé. Une période de froid hivernal est essentielle pour la floraison. 
Bonne saison des tulipes...

Kamala's popularity is not due to her qualities but to the event of Joe Biden's departure.  If we compare Kamala with Hillar...

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN 2024-  By Bernard Bujold - The MATRIX series, whose first film dates back to 1999, reflects in a way the reality of artificial intelligence in 2024.  With wars around the world, we can see that the machine has replaced the human, notably in Israel in the recent attacks on cell phones and walkie-talkies, while in Ukraine, it's the drones.  Is the machine becoming the master of the planet?  To be continued...  Note: MATRIX is available on NETFLIX.  SEE MATRIX MOVIE https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix

  THE ART OF POLITICAL PHOTOGRAPHY -  By Bernard Bujold- For photographers Doug Mills (New York Times) and Evan Vucci (Associated Press) the event was supposed to be a simple political rally by Donald Trump.
