A pause of images in order for words to reappear. These are a few snapshots from a weekend hike to Mud Lake, a favourite spot of mine right here in the city.
Cool wildlife spotted: hawk, wood duck, muskrat, a prehistoric-looking snapping turtle and dozens of painted turtles soaking up some sun.

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!)
