Uncle Wally is alive and well in Kemptville. In fact this is a brand new store that opened last month.

A Morning Walk on an In-Town Trail

I like the looks of the snow on the weeds like icing on a cupcake.

It was snowing lightly when we went out for a walk along this trail that we've seen in town but never used. It looks like snowmobilers use it but also lots of people as there was a lot of footprints on one area of it. It's not a very long trail but there's more of it to discover when spring arrives.

Needs some paint but still pretty

Trip to Ottawa

It was -32C (-26F) when I got up this morning but it was a nice sunny day. We had to go in to Ottawa today for a medical appointment so we ran errands and took some photos.

The frozen Ottawa River

There were a lot of Bohemian Waxwings near Mud Lake this afternoon

This lady was cross country skiing on the Ottawa River - very cold!

The steam is where the frozen Ottawa River meets the Deschenes Rapids which aren't frozen.

Today's Morning Walk

After an all day snowfall yesterday I decided to take my camera along on my morning walk. It was a nice light snowfall. There was no wind so the snow came straight down and there are no snow drifts. The town did a good job of clearing all the streets and sidewalks overnight.

Snowy trees

This snowbank is from the parking lot being cleared

I love this little salt box house, not sure why
