Month: October 2022

I had a few hours to myself and I was feeling pretty good (my immune condition seems to have settled down a bit — good news). So I ventured out to a couple of new places and a favourite that has been closed for a while due to the big storm earlier this year.

The House of PainT is located under the Bronson Bridge near Brewer Park and Carleton University. It was an UrbanFest where Painters put murals on the bridge support structure. Amazing Talent.

After I was done, I wanted to photography the flowing water (almost waterfalls) behind Carleton U. There was a path from the House of PainT to the location, but unfortunately the area I wanted to get to was closed off for LRT Construction. It was still a nice walk though.

To top off the afternoon, I drove out to the Mer Bleu Boardwalk. It was heaving with people, so I didnt stay long. Still one of my favourite places to go and photograph

Our daughter that lives, works in Scotland (Orkney) and is a well known photographer in her own right, gave us a Christmas Present last year from a company called GUESS WHERE TRIPS. There are many road trips from various cities across Canada (maybe further afield) that you can choose. We chose one from Ottawa called A Walk on the Wild Side. We ended up having a fantastic day out on a journey that took us on a 300km round trip. I hope you enjoy the photos.

First Stop was the Morris Island Conservation Area. Stunning!

The second stop was in Arnprior (Stop at Wes’s Chip Wagon — Super Yummy) where we visited the Galilee Conservation Park

Our Third Stop was in Renfrew, where we visited one of only three swing bridges in Canada.

We finished our day out with a stop at a rustic farmers market in Calabogie and then drove back home via Almonte where we had IceCream.

Where did September go? Today we took a couple of short walks in our hometown of Orleans. One was along the river pathway and another in the heart of Orleans that I never knew existed. We are hoping to do a small road trip next weekend when the leaves should be more spectacular.
