One of the biggest winter celebrations have started. Winterlude started yesterday. It's one of Canada's biggest winter celebrations, and it's happening now. Lights, IIce sculptures, Skating on the world's longest skating rink- the Rideau Canal. I've been to Winterlude before, at day and at night and it is really fun, and it looks really nice with the ice sculptures, and lights. Some of tthe ice sculptures even light up. It's really nice.

Anyone around the Ottawa-Gatineau area should go to winterlude... Or if you are on vacation or a trip to ottawa, now is a great time to go!

That's about it!

Yesterday was Canada Day. We did not get a chance to go out and see the celebration and the fireworks though. Houses in my neighbourhood were doing lots of fireworks, and from my window, I could see the fireworks a local theatre and park, about 15 minutes away.

I hope next year I can go out and see lots of fireworks, or maybe do our own. It was not that nice outside anyway. It was late, and kind of cool, and it was raining on and off- so I think it was better just watching the neighbours doing the fireworks.

That's About it!

I know I'm a day late, but Happy Canada Day!

I'm so behind I still have not uploaded photos that I was supposed to a little over a year ago. Here they are now. This collection of photos were taken in Chelsea, QC, Canada. Most of them are of the Outaouais river and the surrounding autumn scenery. I'm sure that mostly friends and family read this site, but I know that there are also a few others. Whoever you are, I hope that you enjoy these photos!
