Ottawa and the Byward Market

With cooler temperatures today, it was a great day to walk to the market.

Summer berries, cherries and bedding plants fill the stands, and kids now out on summer holidays wander the streets in small tight groups. If it's a 'gaggle of geese', it must be a 'giggle of girls'. It's good to be there on a relatively quite day for that will soon change. We are only 3 days away from Canada Day. I'm looking forward to getting out with my camera to wander the streets, check out the activities, and try for that definitive Canada Day image.

Overheard

In the washroom of McDonald's eatery... female rapper who could rival many of the well known recording artists. I'd love to quote her but I'd be banned from this forum. Rap is not my favourite form of vocals, but content aside, I couldn't help being impressed by her talent.

Walking home... Comment made by man trying to direct his unleashed dog back home. "He's not mine. I'm his."
