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.

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.

Rainy February night

Who would believe that in the middle of February, the temperature outside would be 1C (34F) and it would be raining. This shot isn't the clearest, but with the light from the car, it's actually possible to see the rain bouncing off the pavement (no shutter speed control on this camera). Too bad for the tourists in town for Winterlude, the canal is now closed (may re-open depending if we get another cold spell), but tomorrow the weather is supposed to go up to 10C (50F). That's incredibly warm and a tease if you were to ask me! However, I don't really mind it warming up a bit, but I wished it would have waited until Winterlude was done as I didn't get a chance to go check out the snow sculptures.
