Road Trip along the St Lawrence River

One sunny winter afternoon we all got in the car and drove...

First to Gananoque, where we saw the town hall:
 



A mischievous woodpecker:



And Andy tested the ice...





We continued to the mighty St Lawrence


Ian decided that the far bank looked more appealing



and Marty joined his effort to cross the St Lawrence on foot



Meanwhile, Andy and Sara sat on the river bank soaking up some rays

Out and about in Ottawa

Risking frostbite to take a few photos from Nepean Point, above the Ottawa River










A tour around the Museum of Civilization:





Some details from West Coast artist Bill Reid's sculpture, "Spirit of Haida Gwaii":
 



 The domed ceiling of the grand hall is painted by Alex Janvier; "Morning Star"
