We spent a week in Ottawa–well, Kanata really–over Christmas, eating and reading and seeing family. Taking short walks, too, under the cloudy skies of eastern Ontario. We walked across the golf course to the grocery store with Mike and Aggie (the dog) to pick up a yellow pepper. We walked out for a few kilometres on the Watts Creek pathway and turned around when we got to a crabapple tree covered in frozen fruit. We walked to the drug store and then returned on a footpath that took us all the way around the north side of the golf course. Here are some photographs from those walks. I’m looking forward to many more walks in 2017.
