Photography
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.
We went for a little walk around Petrie Island after dinner and we were pleasantly surprised with amazing reflections and some wildlife.
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.
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.
We had a surprise springtime snowfall. Was hard on all the flowers in the garden. Hoping this is the last snow for this year.
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.
