Smells Like Spring…
It might be spring. Or not. We can never really be sure in Canada…
The last couple of weeks, it was about 25ºC and sunny. The snow finally melted but the first few days were weird: we were walking around wearing summer clothes and in sandals… in the snowy streets.
But the last couple of days were cold, averaging 0-5ºC. I really hope that wasn’t the end of the summer…. Meanwhile, I took some pictures of spring in Ottawa.

The city looks good in the bright sunshine, but the river by Parliament Hill was pretty flooded (yeah, trees usually grow on the ground… not in water…).

The nice sunsets are back… we caught a couple lately.

The Ottawa river was flooded: it overflowed a bit and some paths had to be close. Unusually high snow falls this winter (almost 5 meters of snow in total!) and warm temperatures didn’t help. Nothing too severe though.

It was pretty amazing too see so much non frozen water.

Still, it’s spring. And it’s nice.
A ha ha! First comment!
I guess it’s not only here in Buffalo that the weirdness of the weather is striking. Yes, similar to what you have, we were in summer the past few weeks. But starting this week, it went down cold again. People are getting sick because of the fluctuating temperatures, and I really hope I don’t get a cold that would hamper my upcoming vacation.

Great pictures! I love the sunsets this time of the year…one of the advantages of living in a northern climate, they last longer then they do at the equator. The pictures of the trees in the river water is an interesting effect too!

I noticed in Colorado-as soon as the weather got to about 50 degrees (farenheit) out came the tanks, sandels, etc.

Great spring pictures and for sure; one can smell the spring is in the air! It also show that Canada and Norway are very much the same in climate and fauna.
We are in Sweden and had 17C today - with a touch of spring too

Yeah!, it’s been SO cold this week compared to the last weeks, it’s soooo weird, but don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll have hot weather really soon
