fall colours
Thank you so much to Chantal for reminding me about some very lovely places in Ottawa.
Petrie Island is a nature park in Orleans and it was a five minute drive from the hotel where we were staying. Friday morning was supposed to be sunny so I set my alarm and planned to be there for just after sunrise. Overnight we had a heavy frost so for the first time since June, I had to put on long pants and real shoes! I also had to scrape the windshield with the lid of a food container that was in the car because the scraper was not yet in the car (it is now). There was only one other car at the park when I got there so I enjoyed some quiet time to myself. As the tears rolled freely down my face, I looked for the beauty in nature that grounds me in my life. There was awesome fog for the first little while and some frosty plants that shone in the early morning light.
It was a beautiful morning of peace.
Such lovely pictures! Love the fog on the water.....
