Pictures of Ottawa
A little while back, I blogged about the view from my cubicle. Security gave me permission to take some pictures so I present them below, they are from left to right (I probably could have done a better panorama, but ... still ... I think they convey pretty nicely what I see everyday - at least in the Fall).
Here are some additional Fall photos from Ottawa taken in the morning at Strathcona Park:

To be honest, it is in no way distracting from work. It is very peaceful and stress relieving.
Blogging is more distracting from work ;)
I must say besides being a great writer, a philosophical, a great friend, you are also a fantastic photographer!! :)
Love your pics. Will keep it in my fav folders! If you would allow me, I would like to share them with my blog members - of cors crediting you accordingly! :P
Would appreciate if you can tell me if you think I am going overboard, rather than ignore me like what my friends did. Cos it hurts. :(
Another of my general philosophical outlooks is "There is no offense where none is taken." (this one is cribbed from Star Trek - The Original Series).
I do read blogs and I always read the blogs of those who comment here, but, the truth is that sometimes I really have nothing to contribute (and it makes me feel guilty because I get these wonderful comments on my blogs).
A general rule in human relationships and interactions is tit-for-tat (or reciprocation) - so I sometimes worry that my silence on other people's blogs will result in them slowly fading from mine. sigh.
Oh Richard, I feel such an affinity with nature, and with animals in particular. If I had a view of little goslings waddling, I doubt I could take my eyes off of them. :) I have always loved Canada, though I've only been there a few times. I hope someday I am able to visit there again.
Sorry to make you envious ms. q, but ... you can always make it a wallpaper on your monitor or print them out and hang them on your cubicle walls. I used to hang pictures of wolves on my walls at my previous job.
I have to admit that my view does wonders for releasing stress during the work day. Too bad all work places can't be like this. I will miss it if I ever leave (unless it is to a house on the side of a mountain overlooking a lake ;-)
It is also getting colder. Today the high is supposed to be 4C - probably a bit chillier than you are used to ;-)
The best times to come to Canada, in my opinion, are Spring (May) or Autumn (mid-September to mid-October). This is when we are most colourful.
thanx richard for showing me ;)
Sadly, I lost that view, I changed projects and moved to a different part of the building where I now overlook a parking lot.
