A peek inside our weekend

Feather collection

By the way, a good place to have a picnic in Ottawa is along the Rideau River near Billings Bridge. Go there to see the water fowl: swans, ducks, and geese galore.

Mark’s photo from Instagram this weekend with his comment “Dang. It seems like you can’t throw a javelin anywhere these days.”….yeah…I still laugh whenever I think about it! :)

And Emory….in love with your feathers! :) You two would make fast friends over your love of birds!

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!
