And I thought I was passionate

I caught this conductor in mid-glare (for lack of a better word) while her orchestra was performing at the tulip festival tonight on Queen Elizabeth Drive. I thought this photo would be different than posting pics of tulips - which are abundant - on this page and everywhere else in Ottawa blogland. Tonight was a true first taste of summer in the city with temperatures in the high 20s.
Below is a shot of some of the talented band members who put on a great show for the appreciative audience.
