March 23 ~ More Backyard Visitors

For today's entertainment - Hydro workers trimming trees.
It seemed like it was the first day on the job for this woman -
she was a bit shaky in the tree-climbing department!

Every spring, a pair of doves come to our backyard.
Silly doves - what made them think it was spring!

March 19~ An Annual Tradition

Every winter, "The Girls" hike into a yurt or cabin on Gatineau Park to stay overnight.

After taking this photo, I recognized my friend, Tom, on the left, in the blue jacket.
We skated back to Bank Street together. It was a pleasure to have his company!
I think this photo shows off a great collection of Ottawa's great architecture!
