The Sûreté is patrolling downtown Ottawa. Wait till they ticket everyone for having Ontario licence plates!

Lake Huron yesterday.I've never seen such a clear illustration of lake-effect snow. Four days ago this was all brown.

This section of the Mer Bleue boardwalk was built by the same people who designed the museum's Crazy Kitchen

Lake Huron early Thursday, as storm approaches Point Clark. The lake also turns this striking blue-green as summer thunderstorms move in. Taken by a webcam in a lighthouse. #ONstorm

Ornaments from Pascal’s on Merivale Rd. bought in 1979. $1.99 and $3.99.

I know Ottawa is out there somewhere but I defy anyone to prove it.

Jaw-dropping update on the scandalous neglect of 24 Sussex by Tom Spears, in which he kindly lets me do a bit of venting: ottawacitizen.com/opinion/24-sus…

A webcam on Lake Huron today shows white clouds reflected in the calm water. Camera is mounted on a lighthouse at Point Clark.

It takes a wonderful writer to turn out pure gold in a single subordinate clause. PG Wodehouse: "Then, brushing aside one or two intellectuals who were in the way, he dragged up a chair and sat down."

No special reason but I'm posting a view of Lake Huron that my daughter shot in October. The horizon is west.

An FOI request by Tom Spears reveals the current state of 24 Sussex. But mum's still the word from the National Capital Commission on whether this marks the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end for this historic and storied building. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…

Interesting to see that we can still reasonably hope for temps into the 20s for this week and event the next two! (I didn't say "count on." I said "hope for." Look at the 17th to 21st.) #ottnews

Northeast of Wakefield two wild apple trees have tangled together. One has red apples, the other yellow. I thought for a moment I'd discovered a cool new variety!

Goodness. The former Ottawa Citizen offices are now something called the Exit Lounge. Here, the two glass walls of the former conference room look out onto the Queensway and bustling Baxter Road. ottnews

A day without wind in the Gatineau Hills.

Today's Wordle is a very strange word.

Views from the Gatineau Hills north of Ottawa today: Wild apple tree (surprisingly good apples, though tangy); New England asters growing in all roadside ditches, here by a hay field; lake with no wind, seen from the forest. Warm! Just phone pics. YorkshireLass The English Oak Project
