A bit of Canadiana for you: skating videos

You're going to enjoy these videos!! Two of them are a bit boring and long (1 minute +), but most of them are 6 -20 seconds and fun! They document C. and I skating down the Rideau canal today, inclusive of our look at the portraits (mini outdoor art gallery) set up on the bank st. bridge. The canal is at the end of our respective streets (I'm about 10 houses away). It's the largest skating rink in the world.

It's very cold and so unfortunately the light was so bright that you can't see the blue skies very clearly - the photography makes everything look a bit white and cloudy. It was beautifully clear and bright, by contrast.

As we were walking down C's street to the canal we encountered a woodpecker. I was being an idiot, because afterwards I realized that woodpeckers use those holes to look for insects and so on to eat.

More in a few minutes.

This one is a bit dull (1:23) - it's just on the straight, before we reach any chalets or the outdoor art gallery. The next one is a bit dull, too, though shorter and I think C.'s in it."

Chalets! You're invited for a beaver tail and some hot cider!The chalets are set up right on the ice. People stop for a warm drink from time to time!

Here's the outdoor art gallery (prints from the national portrait gallery). Loving it!

This video is a "WHEEE" video, for Mz. Bee!
