what an eventful day yesterday was…

in the morning my daughter and I headed to Bulk Barn for bird seed and then on to Mer Bleue where it was way too slippery for a walk but we spent a lovely time feeding the birds from our hands… such fun;-)…

chickadees came and went from the surrounding trees… we saw blue jays, two types of woodpeckers, a nuthatch and maybe a partridge…

it was great fun… my daughter took the picture of the chickadee looking at me, lol…

then we picked up my son-in-law and his mom and went to the Canadian Museum of Nature where we saw exhibits about the arctic, the earth and Canadian birds… and we spent some quality time in the butterfly exhibit…

here are a few of my favourite photos…

birds AND butterflies…

finished the day off with a BeaverTail;-)…

those were for sharing, I only had half of one;-)…

when we left Winnipeg I was just wearing a t-shirt and pants… had put a jacket in my suitcase… it was a warm and sunny day, finally… the longest part of the process always seems to be the waiting, lol… we kept busy playing games on the flight and watching the view out the window… we were happily surprised to find both of the Ottawa/Kingston children waiting for us…

the Baked Expectations Deadly Chocolate Mousse survived the trip nicely and I was pleased to hand it over;-)… likely someone will be eating that for their breakfast…

when we arrived it was around 1 degree and very chilly… particularly as we headed right to Byward Market from the airport for BeaverTails… which were delicious;-)…

ordered Chinese food for dinner and settled in… great to be here…

watery things today… so happy…

likely, by now, you all know about my obsession with bendy buses, lol…

on our way to Byward Market we saw many… so I had to get a picture…

then we picked up beavertails and drove to the Rideau Falls… I had some chocolate on my arm so had to clean it up which proved very humorous for my daughter…

shared the beavertails and walked to, around and over the two sets of Falls…

was very excited to spot a Great Blue Heron at the bottom of the second set… they are such majestic birds and remind me of a trip to the East Coast we took many years ago and saw them everywhere…

also took a few shots of this sculpture… for years my daughter collected worlds, lol, so it was fun to see this one with her…

I spent an hour or so sitting alone on a sandy beach at Petrie Island while she paddleboarded… the water was like glass and tunes were playing in the background for the beach volleyball game going on behind me as the sun went down on this beautiful day…

ended the evening at the Soul Stone Sushi Bar & Grill… the food was excellent… if you go there order the Fusion roll… OMG…
