Tip on the Tightrope

It was gorgeous today; the sun was high and the wind was warm. It truly feels like spring might actually be blowing in after a long winter.

 

I took advantage of the nice weather and took a stroll over my lunch hour, as I walked through Confederation Park I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people out and about.

 

For the past few months I've been the only person walking through the park over the lunch hour and today it was crowded, each bench was taken and the water fountain (that's not yet running) was surrounded by people.

 

Seems the entire city was suffering from cabin fever and today's warmth has drawn them out.

 

When I happened upon this person tight-roping I knew I'd found my photo for the day; such a unique sight for downtown Ottawa that I just couldn't resist.

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.
