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.
