Britannia Bay on the Ottawa River taken from a 20th floor balcony. Big sheets of ice have broken off and started move downstream, leaving open water that stretches from shore to shore. Fluffy white clouds in the sky. April 3, 2026 at 18h00.

#OttawaRiver is breaking up in Britannia Bay this afternoon. Yesterday morning (right) vs. this evening (left). There are big sheets of ice moving, and big cracks of open water stretching shore to shore.

The Ottawa River seems steely-smooth against colourful lights that reflect on its surface. Across the river, the Rideau River comes to an abrupt end as it tumbles down to meet the Ottawa River. Lights from Sussex Drive emit different colours. A patio to the left of the falls glows an orange-amber from strings of lights.

Cross-country skiing along the #OttawaRiver at sunset.

How is this whimsical?

Well, I had not planned on skiing back home in the dark (no headlamp) but I kept following the sunset because it was so gorgeous and it drew me out further and further.

Totally worth it

My first snowshoe on the river this year (don't worry, I largely follow the shoreline).

Very deep snow in spots, even though it doesn't appear so. It's hard but fun work.

Took a long lunch and skied to the infamous Britannia park ice swimming lane.

From a distance it looks like a sparkly Lilliputian ice castle.

I have yet to see it in use but I'm told it's used daily.

We've had a coldish winter so a -8C afternoon with sun felt balmy #OttawaRiver

Haha went too fast for the first half of my ski. Had to stop for a breather.

I'm three kinds of skier: energetic with flow, solid rhythm, oh damn running out of juice and shuffling home.

First Xcountry ski of the year. I still feel like an awkward stumbling fawn with only the occasional moments of grace.

But I missed all of last year (knee injury) so I need my ski legs back. Better than 0. Begin again.

Rosy cheeks for the effort. #Ottawa #OttawaRiver

Some light, airy snow today -- enough for the groomers to start laying base tracks for skiing etc.

People are skating along the shore of the #OttawaRiver already!

(Yes, that's open water just beyond the skaters).

A yellow sky turning to pink and blue hues as the sun set.

Day 4659 - Winter Beach
largely black and white photo of Britannia Beach covered in snow with color splash on the city of Ottawa sign and some other colored elements on the infrastructure. otherwise it was an overcast day. it was actually snowing I think and there was enough snow in the sand to hide the sand

More #owl along the #OttawaRiver. #BarredOwl #BirdSky

I really did try to enjoy the moment so I only have a few short videos (and admittedly, I'm not much of a videographer. I can't seem to hold still lol)

So I continued my journey in the woods and five minutes later, he found me again. So we stared at each other for another five minutes. Such a magical encounter.

Yesterday I spotted an owl in the woods near the #OttawaRiver. We started at each other for five minutes, and then he flew closer and settled in a tree near me. We watched each other for a few more minutes before a man and a dog disrupted our curiosities.
