I left off in a post two days ago with a photograph taken in Little Italy one day. On the same day, these shots and those to come over the next two posts were taken. This view is at Carling Avenue at the south end of Little Italy, with fall colours across the street.
I headed over to Commissioners Park, which flanks the north and east side of Dow's Lake. The lake is a reservoir for the Rideau Canal. The flowerbeds here are filled with tulips in May. Afterwards plants that last into the fall replace them until it comes time to start putting in the bulbs in October. Some of the beds were already in the process of that happening.
Here we have a view of the lake itself. The Arboretum and the campus at Carleton University can be seen in the background; the Canal waterway lies between them.
I kept to the path along the lake for this part of my walk.
Once in awhile I like to incorporate these Muskoka chairs into a lakeside view.
For today I finish off with this view looking across at Carleton University.
I can tell you had a fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteWe called those Adirondack chairs. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, the lake is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGostei de ver e aproveito para desejar a continuação de uma boa semana.

If I were in Ottawa, I'd want to spend time in little Italy. Of course I'm thinking about great food!

ReplyDeleteMuskoka chairs. Adirondack chairs. Hmmm. We have one that my wife's father made many decades ago. I guess it's a Welland chair. I'd love to see the second shot at dusk with the walkway lamps lit. Oh heck, since I'm dreaming, throw in a strolling couple. Looks like a lovely park.
ReplyDeleteNice place for a walk!
ReplyDeleteThose chairs are known in Finland too.
ReplyDeletewonderful autumn lakeside photos ^_^

@Kay: they're good chairs.
ReplyDelete@Rockinon: I've always liked that kind of chair.
@Italiafinlandia: that isn't a surprise.
@Carol: thank you. I find myself wondering, with the problems we've seen for the last few months on Blogger in terms of actual comments ending up in the spam folders, how far back it really goes.
