Some Odds And Ends

 I have some odds and ends from the last couple of months today. In the first half of March, I was passing by the future main branch of the Ottawa Public Library, which will share space with some facilities from Library and Archives Canada. I have been occasionally documenting its progress here in the blog. At this point, the bulk of the work left to be done is on the inside.

When I went out for my visit to the National Gallery, I headed via Major's Hill Park. En route, I took this shot, with the Ottawa River and Gatineau on the far shore. A low lying cloud deck obscured the distant Gatineau Hills.

By the time I came back, the Hills were visible.

I passed by the National War Memorial and took this shot.

One evening in mid-March I photographed the sunset from my place.

Another day, with blue skies and wispy clouds, I took these shots.

On an early morning walk, I took this rare selfie. Very Prince of Darkness.

A new monument that we'll get a look at in a couple of days. I took this shot in late March while passing by.

A hint of things to come- tulips just starting to come up at Major's Hill Park in the latter half of April.

And a few days later, passing through the Garden of the Provinces and Territories, I photographed a couple of Canada goose at rest.

A short walk beyond, at Victoria Island, I was closer to one. He looked at me and decided that since I was on the other side of a high fence, I was no bother to him.
