A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how we tried to go for a Sunday afternoon picnic and got rained out. Well, today the weather forecasters got it right, and after church we packed up and set off for another spot along the Rideau. We took full advantage of an incredible Alberta Day. Here's what it looked like.

part of the mechanism to open a lock; action at the locks always attracts onlookers

the 'flotilla' leaving the lock

just below another lock, ships can tie up; I think most were out on the water
After forgetting for the past 2 weeks, I remembered that today we celebrate Sunset Sunday by posting a sunset shot. In case you're not familiar with this great idea yet, visit the originator, Scott. He always has stunning sunset shots, as well as countless other beauties, and provides lots of practical tips - even on html! Here's my contribution, taken from our back yard on Aug. 17:
