Spent a lovely couple of hours walking up and down Bank St looking at all the amazing murals and artwork on the walls of buildings. Even bumped into Mayor Watson, but since it was both our days off, we only said Hello to each other and continued on our ways. I used my 10-20mm lens for all these photos.

Just a little south of Ottawa is the quaint town of Manotick. The historic Watson Mill and Dam are easily accessible and are a great visit. I saw the Mill on the news the other night and saw the water was running over the dam fairly well. I thought it might make for some interesting Long Exposure photography

Covid restrictions have finally gotten to us, so we took another little drive into the countryside and ended up in Merrickville. I didnt have any specific photos in mind to take, but I saw these Canada Geese out on some ice flows in the Rideau River just above the locks. We saw thousands of geese all along the Rideau River as we returned to Ottawa.

We took an 8km hike along the Ottawa River Ski Trails and captured a few random shots of the city. The ski trails are so busy with people fed up being locked down with Covid. The City opened up last Tuesday to level Orange, so I think people were excited to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.

While we were out on a walk earlier in the week, we came across a Barred Owl up in a tree. It was very tolerant of us and never moved while we spent about 10 minutes checking it out. I had the wrong lens with me, so we decided we would try to go back another day with the telephoto lens. As luck would have it, it snowed almost 20cm the next day, so we went back out Wednesday evening and walked back out to the same spot. It took about 15 minutes to spot it and again it was was very tolerant as we took a million photos of it. I have been wanting to capture a photo of an owl all winter. Really quite happy with these.

The day turned nice after a couple of weeks of polar vortex -20c weather. We put on our walking boots and winter gear and headed out into the “balmy” -8c sunny late afternoon. We took a tour of some of the trails and fishing huts in and around Petrie Island. We caught an amazing Golden Hour Sunset at the end of the walk.

We had 5cm of fresh fluffy snow overnight. After we cleaned up the cars and driveway I noticed that the windshields were covered in little snowflakes. So I grabbed the macro extension tubes and mounted my kit lens. I keep forgetting how short the focal length is when using the tubes.

So to try and keep my winter walking up, my daughters bought me snow shoes for Christmas. Hard to believe but today was the first time we had a chance to try them out. Heather and I did a “quick” 2km walk as a break for her this afternoon. Unfortunately, just as we got back to the car, one of my straps broke in two. Not sure I can repair the strap, so I may have to McGyver it for next time.

The temperature got down to -21c with windchill’s of -28c. A perfect opportunity to go outside and do some outdoor photos with water and bubbles. Kendra and I had a lot of fun doing these shots

I was out doing some random shots around the neighborhood and came across this group of kids who had made a jump for their toboggans. The sounds of their laughter and excitement filled the street and I found it too hard to resist to not take photos of them. I printed these photos and gave them to their parents and ask for permission to be able to post these photos.
