A Visit to Ottawa

 So I decided to head down to Ottawa on Saturday.  It was a little windy, so I wasn't sure I would see much.  It wasn't a bad day though.

As I was coming into the park, I passed by this water lily pond.  There were quite a few egrets here.  I think they were gathering up for the trip down south.

A pair of egrets.

This one was fishing.

Then we passed this swan.

Since I was close enough, I got some shots of his head with my big lens.

I like this shot.

Another pulled out shot.

I like this shot as well.

A milkweed.

Another milkweed.

From a different angle.

The bug is a large milkweed bug nymph.

And I ended the day with a heron.
