A shot of the firemen as they were attending to the calls at the building across the street, they ended up being called five times over the weekend and only one call, the last one being legitimate. Posted by Picasa

Here are the three pomeranians who frequent the park. From left to right, May May, Ellis and Cokette. All quite different and all quite beautiful. Posted by Picasa

My friend Lorraine finally came up and got her picture taken with May May for her blog. We were going out for Thanksgiving dinner at a local restaurant, no washing up required, love it. May May has on her new little coat I made her, it is just light weight fleece good for the weather right now. I love the hood on it. Thanks Lorraine for coming up. Posted by Picasa

This is what I woke up to this morning! Last night I left the pantry door open and Maggie got into it and took out her catnip, those little black spots on the floor are the remaining evidence. She was really having a party the cellophane was all over, the label was ripped to shreds, and she didn't even invite me or May May. What a party girl, my Maggie. Posted by Picasa

I took this picture of firetrucks that had been called to the building across the street for the third time already this weekend. Can't see the truck at all, but the lights turned out kinda cool. Posted by Picasa

This is a picture of the Parliament Library that is under construction, the light roll near the top is the copper that will be the roof, after it has been left out in the air and elements, it will turn green. Posted by Picasa

Another view of the steps behind Parliament Hill, this time looking down. Posted by Picasa

It was a dreary day today, but there were a few people up at Parliamnent hill. Here is a squirrel running away, they go off into the fenced area where the cats are. The man that looks after them has the squirrels trained to take a peanut out of his ear! Posted by Picasa

The little black pom just arrived at the park and the meet and greet committee had to go and welcome him. So that is 3 poms and a mix. Posted by Picasa

Here she is again. It was hard to get a picture she just wouldn't sit still.  Posted by Picasa

Here is a nice little puppy we met on our walk last night. Darn and I forget her name. Posted by Picasa

My pretty May May, she had a bath on Monday so now her fur is extra soft and fluffy. Posted by Picasa

This is a memorial in a small park on Elgin Street. It is to honour and to grieve all women abused and murdered by men. Each small stone around the big one represents a woman that has been murdered. There will be another one added soon even though we haven't found her killer yet. It is so sad that we even have to have this memorial.  Posted by Picasa

Some pretty flowers amid the fallen leaves. Posted by Picasa

This is the Rideau Canal right next to the Queen Elizabeth Driveway. Pretty soon it will be freezing over and when it does it is the longest skating rink in the world. During Winterlude which is like a Winter Festival I am able to get my wheelchair right down on the ice. Used to take my grandson there and we had a blast everytime! Posted by Picasa

Here is another shot of the walkway. Sort of reminds me of the small town where I grew up in, every street had an alley in the back. They were great shortcuts to each others backyards. Posted by Picasa

This is a very interesting walk way that is right next to the Queen Elizabeth Driveway. It is a walkway for everyone to walk on but it is like going into everyone's backyards. The houses along here are very expensive. Posted by Picasa

The leaves are just starting to turn colours and I am afraid we will get too much wind before all of them turn colours and we won't see much this year. This is taken behind the court house and next to city hall. Posted by Picasa

Window washers on this very nice piece of architecture on Elgin St. Posted by Picasa

They are constructing a building on the Sparks Street Mall and went I went past today the men were very high up balancing this thing. Almost looks like a ride at the exhibition. Posted by Picasa
