Blossoms in Ottawa

In one week, I will be leaving Ottawa and driving to Colorado for my third (and probably final) field season.  To get my body in shape, I have been walking quite regularly in the last few days.  Plus it gives me a chance to enjoy the blossoms along the canal.

Almost summertime along Rideau
It's almost summer-like here in Ottawa.

A gorgeous tree.

Enjoying the blossoms
The space underneath the tree is very popular.

Another nice looking tree.

Here are some photos from the tree.

One area in Ottawa that has a lot of blossoms is near the Lincoln Fields bus station.  When I saw this blog post yesterday, I decided to go there (as well as the nearby Mud Lake) the following day.

Sometimes it's nice to have people in the photos.

Tried the HDR function in my camera.  I didn't like it.

One last look before walking to the bus station.  Until next year, Lincoln Fields!
