@emeraldilse65.bsky.socialSeven years ago I entered this photo to CTV's photo of the week contest. I didn't win but one night during the late news there was my photo with my name on the screen recognized as photo of the day. Mind blown.

Arrived in #Ottawa yesterday as a new #PermanentResident. Enjoying the magnificent view from Dechenes Rapids at the #OttawaRiver with my #dog
Happy #Thanksgiving #fall #autumn #fallcolors 🍁
@greenspacea.bsky.socialUpdate: The offline Chantilly reactor now transports spent fuel & nuclear waste to Chalk River storage, increasing Ottawa River's contamination risk. More info: https://greenspace-alliance.ca/near-surface-disposal-facility/ #NuclearWaste #OttawaRiver

@kathleenogradyca.bsky.social#RiverHouse on the #OttawaRiver yesterday
Lots of people picnicking on the decks but the swimming area was empty (closed?)
@griffsy.bsky.socialThis is heartbreaking. The eel used to be very plentiful in the #OttawaRiver until overfishing and dams reduced it's population by over 95%.
@kathleenogradyca.bsky.socialI was reading about how this whole area used to be the Champlain (salt water) Sea. On days like this, it's easy to imagine

@kathleenogradyca.bsky.socialGreat place to park your boat and do a little cliff diving near Parliament Hill
@kathleenogradyca.bsky.socialNew wharf and swimming dock at the Museum of History across from Parliament Hill.
An electronica festival doing sound check in the background.
@kathleenogradyca.bsky.socialDechênes Rapids on the #Quebec side of the #OttawaRiver.
Many people have died here over the years -- some underestimating the river current, some wanting to practice their white water skills against the river.
In the summer, there are emergency rescues here (on the ON side) every weekend
@kathleenogradyca.bsky.social@gander22h.bsky.socialThis is the new #NCC East Wharf Dock swimming platform on the #OttawaRiver, just outside the #Ottawa Locks. It looks like no one was swimming today.
