HELLO/BONJOUR

Hi/Bonjour, as the locals say.  I have made it to Ottawa, after a leisurely 3-day trip across the world.

Fall is absolutely beautiful and I can't stop taking photos of its golden gorgeousness:

I flew via Vancouver - and found some interesting Air Terminal Sculpture:

Rocks masquerading as luggage - bringing a smile to the travel weary!

View from the Airport Hotel window -

I love a snow-capped mountain peak glistening in the sunlight, don't you?

Pretty red apples dropped from the tree - small and unwanted!

The Other Grandmama made this hot ham and pineapple dish,

with a thick pineapple sauce accompaniment.

It was delicious!

I wonder did the pineapple come from Queensland?

It was Canadian Thanksgiving last week, and will be Halloween next week.

The house decorations are so cute and pretty:

I am told it is a rare thing to see a Red Cardinal flying about the place.

Like a lot of Australian native birds, I guess.

However, look at this letterbox:

Will I see a cardinal or a blue-jay today?

Fingers crossed...
