RGB

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Ottawa|Photography

Dani and I met downtown for lunch yesterday. Instead of sitting around on a patio somewhere we decided to go on a photo hunt.

It was hot and sticky and bright – not the best kind of day for picture-taking – but a few summery photo-worthy moments managed to find me:

I would have taken more, but Dani and I blabbed the whole time we wandered. She was totally distracting!! ;)

These last two were taken at Remic Rapids en route home.

Sounds like a perfect lunch to me! What a perfect day for it, at least I always love the sunny, warm days.

Ha! I actually laughed out loud when I read that blabbing bit. As Homer says, “It’s funny cuz it’s true!” I was thinking that when I looked at the pictures I took — ‘Hmmm, didn’t take very many pictures – but I sure enjoyed the conversation!’

Let’s do it again when the kids are back in school and all the fall colours are showing off!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
