Rainy Preston Street

Today was a wet and rainy day. At some point today I saw some freezing rain/mini hail falling down, which was kind of depressing. However, the day was saved when a few friends invited us out for dinner at IL Primo. The food was really nice, I had their gnocchi and some really good wine. We then proceeded to go to The Prescott to catch the rest of the Habs vs Bruins game, and I was happy to see the Habs win the second and be 2-0. On the way home, I took these pics of Preston, where you can see the wetness on the ground.

Librarian's nightmare

When I saw this today, I had to take a photo. However, I should state, that it wasn't in a library, but still made me think of the state of libraries and how some are saying we don't need books anymore. This was taken in a government building, nevertheless it does reflect a few of the government libraries that were shut down in the last few years.

A hole or many holes

Was looking for something different to take a photo of, and realized that this was something that I had in my apartment. So there's a hole or many holes, depends on how you look at it.

Rainy Day Filter

Today, it started out being a cloudy day, the sun finally appeared for a little bit in the afternoon. However, the rain soon came and I decided to see how rain could act as a filter in my photos. I took a few photos, and selected this one below.

Should I go?

Should I also go down this path? I think so...

Opening in the sky

Tonight the sky was really nice and dark blue. I captured a variety of shots including movement, however this shot stood out as the key shot! These shots are all off the camera (small point and shoot) with no editing.

Here are a few other notables:

Spring rain

This day felt like a true Spring day in Ottawa. The day started out by being a very gray day, and it eventually progressed to rain and I tried to get a few photos of the rain and the misty/foggy Ottawa. This shot looks Ottawa facing North/East from Little Italy. You can see in the distance the foggy areas that cover the top of buildings.

The other photo is an attempt of capturing the rain falling on the ground and seeing the water accumulate on the ground. I also like the different looks of the ground and the pooling of the water.
