I noticed my Mother’s favourite flower was in bloom in time for Mother’s Day.

Bleeding Hearts (Lamprocapnos spectabilis)

Ottawa over the past few days had around 8-10″ of new snow. Here are a few shots looking down on the fields of white. Pentax *istD dSLR, with Tokina AT-X 60~120mm f:2.8 zoom lens.
Here we see ice fog from the Ottawa River creating a layered image fade out.

Just in time for Christmas, December 23, 2011 Ottawa awoke this morning with a dusting of snow. Up until then Ottawa was basking in above normal tempertures, there was no ground frost and we had green lawns through out the City.
And some more snow, in my aerial views. Today we have a heavy snow fall warning, so I will guess I’ll have more to show then.

| Lazy days of August in this part of the World means Cottage Time. Just one hour from Ottawa on paved highways until the last mile. |
| View of the cottage from the dock. (below) |
| Various views. |
| Beside the dock, at least a dozen (8 visible in photo) Smallmouth Bass. |
| More nature. |
It wouldn’t be a week at a cottage if there wasn’t some “liquid sunshine” in seven days this was a late evening rain, rained off and on through the night and cleared up the next morning.

The morning mist at 6:00 AM, a paddle boat heads into the mist looking for Bass.
