Scenes from a #bike trip in #Ottawa today, along the #Rideau #Canal.
Even though it was quite hot out at 28°C, this is still April our "brown grass and no leaves" month here. As you can see there is still #snow and #ice around.
The one photo of the heavy equipment is there to remove the ice skating chalets from the canal - even though they did not get any use this year.
The small, covered #sailboat, a Siren 17, was abandoned on the canal last year. The Parks Canada lockkeepers secured it for the winter but it has still not been claimed by the owner. Hopefully when the canal is filled it can be floated off, put on a trailer and be sent home.
