To kick-start my birthweekend, D. took an extra day off so we could be tourists in our own town for a day. These are a few favourite shots from our lunch & coffee excursion in Ottawa's Byward Market...

view from our table on the patio - it was March 22nd!

same trees, different view

I was fascinated with this lampshade above our table at the coffee shop

baristas at work!

there were quotes on the coffee shop walls, I loved this one

(this is probably one of my favourite photos too!)
