Cloud Play

When I returned from the cottage, Sunday evening (August 28, 2011) the City of Ottawa was treated with a cloud show. The sun was setting below a cover of clouds,  that contained a lenticular cloud and all sorts of interesting colours and textures.  From the balcony,  Nice to have close to a 320° vista.

Cottage Time







Lazy days of August in this part of the World means Cottage Time. Just one hour from Ottawa on paved highways until the last mile.








View of the cottage from the dock. (below)








Various views.








Beside the dock, at least a dozen (8 visible in photo) Smallmouth Bass.








More nature.















It wouldn't be a week at a cottage if there wasn't some "liquid sunshine" in seven days this was a late evening rain, rained off and on through the night and cleared up the next morning.

The morning mist at 6:00 AM, a paddle boat heads into the mist looking for Bass.
