Winterlude

I spent the weekend in our beautiful capital city (Ottawa for non-canadians) and took in the sights and sounds of Winterlude.

I was surprised to find a couple of cozy trees:



These festooned trees were apparently part of an installation by arts collective Spins & Needles.


Marvelous ice sculptures were everywhere:


And I enjoyed an evening skate on the Rideau Canal.


Also spent a day at the incredible Canadian Museum of Civilization. Wish I'd had longer than a weekend to explore this wonderful city!
