Postcard from Ottawa

One of the prettiest patios in Ottawa is the Aulde Dubliner. So pretty I almost forget how much I dislike patios and find myself wanting to eat there.

Morning Shame Walk !#%

I dunno, vodka in the morning? Damn those street punks and their public drinking on my block !!!

Can I Eat It Too?!?

It's my cake.. Not enough pictures of cake in the world. +1

Summer vs Winter

Tan line from my watch. We Canadians sure are a pasty white lot.

Storing up for winter

So pudgy! Must be getting ready for winter. Or babies?

It was like a dream...

The day I met Purple Man.

What 50 Looks Like

Happy anniversary!

Daddy is That a Rainbow?

So shooting a rainbow is harder than it looks, especially when you don't get your tripod immediately, even though deep down, you know.. you know, this shot won't turn out... unless...

Tripod!!

Satelite? Space Station?

Ok, so I watched this big "star" like thing for awhile. I thought it was the north star, but it started to move. Ok, I live beside an airport and watch hundreds of flights come in. This was no plane. It was really large and it moved away from me, not towards the airport. Plus, it was very shinny. I would guess it was the space station, except it was way too bright. Again, no tripod. Even though I knew it was going to turn out yucky shot. Here it is..

Farmer's Market

Dangerous Around Here..

Bus anger. It's been done before..

Custom Paint Job

Random flower

Cautionary Tale..

So many things are busted at the Keys station, it's almost like someone is trying to warn me.. about something.. Hrrmmm..

High Above Metropolis

Streeeeettttttttttcccccccchhhhh!

Caught little miss having a big stretch as she awoke from an afternoon siesta.

Water

Neat... super vivid setting on the camera turned the murky Ottawa River water blue.

(I think this would make a fab painting....)

View From Above

Ever wonder what life looks like from a BlackBerry point of view?

Kite boarder takes flight

Kite boarders at Brittania Bay... perfect day for it.

Do Ottawan's Feel Unsafe?

Nah, plenty of gangs to protect us.

#IronyIsFun

It's blue, it's yellow ....whatever could it be?

It's Ottawa's gigantic Ikea scheduled to open in the Fall of 2011. The new store will increase in size from 100,000 to 398,000 square feet, carry 5700 more products, allow an additional 500 people to sit and enjoy swedish meatballs in the restaurant and add 76 more bicycle parking spaces. I don't know about you but I always bike to Ikea because it's not like I would ever buy anything there. #yeahright

University Already?

No, no, daddy can't even afford the magazine that lists all the universities. $20 for that? No way.. Higher education suks!

#DaddyIsCheap

Waterfront View

Had a Lone Star to the left of me and this view out of my hotel window. Location, location, location!

"Special"

Wow, two special agents assigned to the broken window case... I dunno it that's enough!

Things that make you go hmmmm...

Pit stop in Mallorytown while en route. This special drinking water for pets always makes me wonder. Why is the bathroom water I'm washing my hands in not good enough for the pets to drink?

RIP Running Randy

Not sure where RunningRandy went, but there is no sign of him on his post. Water solouble graffiti?!?

Notes is Notes

Surveys all around..

Through the drinking glass

Some days it's a real challenge to get a photo. Like today.

A rose by any other name...

I love the look of this flower shop, excellent curb appeal as they say on HGTV. Next time I need flowers I think I should head there.

Graffiti Wars

I thought it was pretty inventive of this graffiti artist to put his mark half way up the side of a building. There was a bunch of construction garbage there, so that's how he did it.

#MoreYouKnow

Floored

The floor tiles in DeSerres.... so happy.

Meet @The Shefford

Nice looking classic entrance here.. I "do" like.

Mini Cakes ?!?

Yes, please wrap up the whole lot, it's been a tough week.

Look what I got!

Sheldon is positive this is his new afghan. Every time I lay it out to measure it he hops on it.

Football Hooligans!

This bunch of hooligans finished off a nice football season in style.

The Honeymoon is Over

Oh Johnnie Dee, you stumbled on to the stage looking like we had just woken you up with your bedhead and ass crack showing. You spent the hour and twenty minute show looking like the cheering (read: drunk) crowd was an inconvenience to you. Luckily your band was there to give us a show.

Got Fork?

...and maybe some milk! This is the standard that I want my bakery to achieve :)

Burgers and fries, oh my.

Because this town needs more burger joints. Yes, more burgers, less Mexican. #sarcasm

Squared?

Not sure why, but I like this house. Could use a bit more greenery around the building, but I like the type of design.

Zan and Jan eat cupcakes

Thimblecakes.ca ... to eat them is to love them.

Reach For It

Gotta get up all close 'n stuff to get the perfect shot.

Bzzzzzzzz

ACK! BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katie Keyboard

It's Katie Keyboard's last stand today. She was a good friend who always did her duty, no matter how chewed up the fingernails were that clicked her, all those years..

#KeyboardHumour

Childhood memories

Metal Madness

I always wondered why they don't make houses out of metal, more often. I mean, metal shouldn't rot, I'd think..

#ConstructFun

Happy flower

Running Randy

Has been seen running, all around town.. Somebody likes to tag with stencils. (I guess graffiti is pretty hard enough).

#Sheesh

Do you have these in a size 6?

They sparkle. They shine. They attract cobwebs. They swing from some wires high atop Bronson Avenue.

Canal Re-Creation

This is a pretty scene. If only the sky were a little blue-er.
