Sept. 23 ~ Signs of Fall

A few blocks away, there is a community garden with a large planting of sunflowers.
I enjoy walking past them during the season, and watch their summer growth, and fall demise.

September 17 ~ Hike with Judy

Judy spotted this rare 'flower' under some fern leaves.
Any ideas what it is?

For mid-September, there is surprisingly little colour to be seen with the leaves.
But sunshine on maple leaves is still lovely.

September 4 ~ Last 'official' lake swim

Today was the last 'official' lake swim of the year!  So sad!
Because the water temperature is still tolerable,
I'm sure there will be more swims, but not organized by our leader, Tom.

Speed bumps for bicycles???
On the path going beside the locks, beside the parliament buildings
Really - is this necessary?

Sept. 1 ~ kayaks at 6 am.

 
I braved to take my camera out with my 6 am kayak group,
 and was blessed with a spectacular morning!
The location is the Rideau River, just south of the Rideau Canoe Club, at Hog's Back.
