A few pictures from today.

From yesterday - Museum of Nature. I just love this ferocious feathered raptor. 
Construction everywhere in Ottawa. Looks like a new rapid transit station/line? is going in. The blocks around our hotel are crazy - detours everywhere. That along with a lot of one-ways makes for nerve-wracking drives. 

It's fall in Byward Market.
A huge hole is beside our hotel. We have spent a surprising amount of time looking out our kitchen window to watch master excavators dig out tons of soil. We both come running when the warning whistle blows. Then one sharp bang followed by a whump as the tire mats lift off the ground. First sound is at the allowed 7:00 am. First explosion at 8:00!

Governor General's. Turns out the tours are now only on weekends. We walked the beautiful grounds.
Hogs head locks on the Rideau Canal. Not sure this machinery is still used. Beautiful in its own way.

Hogs Head locks. It was raining today but that fact was lost in the mist of the falls. The Rideau canal is gorgeous right now. We'll walk it when the weather improves.
