Took a little walk around the neighbourhood and came across this interesting Dandelion. Not sure if it was a mutant or just some street fluff it picked up. I though it made for an interesting shot. We also planted a little garden on our patio and these cosmic looking petunia really stand out. I am mesmerized by them.
Space Station over Ottawa
Clear Skies and the International Space Station directly overhead was just too good to not try and catch a few shots. I should have headed down to the local park rather than just in front of my house. I never realized how many people are driving past my house at 9:30 at night.
Here it comes

Petrie Island Evening
We went for a little walk around Petrie Island after dinner and we were pleasantly surprised with amazing reflections and some wildlife.
Nature Walks in Orleans
Spring is really starting to make it’s presence know in Orleans. We got out for a couple of nice little walks at Petrie Island and a nature preserve near Bourget Ontario. The bugs aren’t out yet, so it was nice to be outdoors and to just enjoy nature on its own.
Random Shots – April 24
We went out for a bit of Spring Time walk along the Rideau River. Had fun experimenting with Movement and a couple of shots of the Imalaird Photography Team. His Laird and Lady of Imalaird Photography.

Spring Snow – April 22
We had a surprise springtime snowfall. Was hard on all the flowers in the garden. Hoping this is the last snow for this year.
Bank Street – Murals and Art works
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.

Manotick – Watson’s Mill and Dam
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

Merrickville – Canada Geese
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.

Ski Trails and shots of the City
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.
