Today was a rough day. Two much caffine, too little sleep, and one final exam later, and I am bushed! But sometimes, it's nice to dream of warm weather, lazy days.

This photo was taken last weekend in that beautiful weather of Parliament Hill as seen from the Alexandria Bridge. A. and I were walking to the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, but would often stop to admire the sights. It is defiantely a nice walk on a beautiful day.

Since it's rainy today in Ottawa and I'm up to my eyeballs in homework, I thought it would be nice to escape to an easier time, where there was no final assignments or sick group members to deal with. Hence today's shot!

This is from a permanent exhibition at the Canadian Museum of Civilization called Canada Hall. Here the visit can take a trip through Canada's history. It's really the sight to see, plus the actors in it are quite funny.

Today's picture is from the Canadian Museum of Civilization. More specifically, one of their ceilings. Feel free to look for it if you ever visit!

Happy Easter!

My guests are gone and I'm spending the holiday alone, but really, I don't mind. I'm spending the day around the house, doing laundry, cleaning, and a final assignment. Ah, the joys of graduate studies!

This pretty spring shot was taken in front of my apartment. I looked out the window yesterday morning and I was like, "Oh look! Flowers!". Hence, I'm sharing this beautiful flowers with you all on this beautiful Easter Sunday.

Happy Saturday!

So it's a balmy 27 degrees today in Ottawa, hence making me want to stay inside in my nice chilly apartment. However, when guests are here from out of town, that is not an option!

This picture is a close-up of the Justitia statue, or lady justice, outside of the Supreme Court of Canada. It's a beautiful piece standing in front of an art deco building. It is definately a fitting piece of art for the Supreme Court of Canada.

My friend, A. and her sister, K. are in town till tomorrow, so we spent the day seeing the sites. One of the places we stopped at was the War Memorial, hence the picture of the day.

This is the close-up of the Tomb of the Unknown soldier. Though a recent addition to the War Memorial, it is the most touching. I often stop in front of it when I walk in front of the War Memorial. It makes me appreciate Canada's role in World War I and II.

Here we are, the first photo of the new blog! And what better way to start than with a picture of Parliament.

It was a beautiful day here in Ottawa, approximately 20 degrees. Hence, a beautiful spring shot.

This was taken in Major Hill Park, which is just across the canal from the Hill. I loved how the trees are framing the Peace Tower, making it a beautiful spring-y shot.
