渥太華河 ∕ The Ottawa River

I took these pictures one day in July 2008 when the sky was blue and the water calm. There were not too many people in the park as it was a work day. Out on the river, a dozen or so young kids were taking sailing lesson and I could hear their laughter skimming across the water surface. A loon called in the distance and some ducks were foraging in the shallow water.

Summertime, and the living is eeeasy !!!
