Or lack thereof.
An artwork called Nos Bergers (Our Shepherds) in the Tin House Courtyard in Ottawa's Byward Market created by Patrick Bérubé.
Luckily my husband was as interested in street photography as I was and then we went for a beer together.
This is the USA team’s entry in the annual “Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy” fireworks festival (feux.qc.ca/en/home/) on August 17, 2022.
Seen from the vantage point of my daughter’s apartment on York St. in the ByWard Market, the fireworks were right at home over the Embassy of the United States of America to Canada, the purple-turretted building you see in the bottom-left of the frame.
Excerpt from google.com:
Byward Market is a buzzing hub of outdoor farmers’ market stalls and specialty food shops selling Canadian cheese and maple-infused chocolate. It’s also known for its colorful street art and hip stores filled with crafts and clothes by local designers. Surrounding eateries serve shawarma and BeaverTails (sweet fried pastries in the shape of a beaver’s tail). Nightlife encompasses rustic taverns and stylish gay bars.

How many different musical instruments can you see? I count three: a violin, two drums and two foot cymbals. Pretty amazing talent!

A Victorian house in the heart of Ottawa's ByWard Market.
Victorian architecture is a series of architectural revival styles in the mid-to-late 19th century. Victorian refers to the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), called the Victorian era, during which period the styles known as Victorian were used in construction. However, many elements of what is typically termed "Victorian" architecture did not become popular until later in Victoria's reign, roughly from 1850 and later. The styles often included interpretations and eclectic revivals of historic styles (see Historicism). The name represents the British and French custom of naming architectural styles for a reigning monarch. Within this naming and classification scheme, it followed Georgian architecture and later Regency architecture, and was succeeded by Edwardian architecture.

A view of the Rideau Canal snapped under the Plaza Bridge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
The Rideau Canal should be open to boaters next month (May).
The Plaza Bridge was completed in December 1912 and replaced two former parallel bridges, the Sapper's Bridge (1827) and the Dufferin Bridge (early 1870s).
It's that time once again! With all the rain last week, and the reappearance of the sun this weekend, it looks like we're in for a bumper crop this year.

"Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos" - Stephen Sondheim

After work today, instead of coming directly home, Mom and I met up and walked around the market for a while before heading out to dinner.
This was something I'd never noticed before, painted on the power boxes outside of a restaurant. It's beautiful and I couldn't walk away without a photo. I didn't see ant tags so I'm unable to identify the artist; but whoever they are; they have quite a talent.
I really wish we had more street art like this around this; it really livens up an area.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

They say they are "Locally World Famous" since 1986.

Today, home to the popular restaurant e18hteen [eighteen], this historic building in Ottawa’s ByWard Market has a long and interesting history.
“This building, designed by J. Bowes, was ceremonially opened on the 24th of October 1877, as the home of the Institut canadien-francais d'Ottawa. In 1887 the edifice was gutted by fire. In 1890 the interior was rebuilt by G. Mathews, porkpacker as a factory. Here, C.H. Labarge and Jos. Moyneur the first manufacturers of process cheese in Canada incorporated the Chateau Cheese company in 1926. This building was again gutted by fire in 1970 and subsequently rebuilt by the National Capital Commission."

Birds of a Feather aims to question the quality of what brings us together. Is it our appearance? Our beliefs? Our experiences? Or is it the intention of the journey ahead of us? What makes a country remarkable in the variety of people that move it forward?
Presenting three iconic Canada geese in multiple colours, amid a stream of plants, flowers and growth, this artwork invites us to think about how we “flock together” despite our differences and how we can celebrate Canada’s singular plurality.

If there's one constant in this city (apart from dysfunctional government, an LRT that doesn't really work, and I could go on) it's this crazily decked-out Honda Accord that can always be spotted trolling around the ByWard Market every weekend. Every time I see it, there's a little more added to it: skis, hockey sticks, a Stanley Cup, curling stones, LED lights, oars, rackets, you name it.
It always draws (or repels) a crowd and is a favourite of locals and tourists alike who take selfies with it when it's parked (or even in motion–careful!) or try to grab a snap of it going by.
Turns out it's owned by a fellow named Ismael Ibg, an Ottawa-based mechanic who gets a kick out of all the attention. Read more about it here.

"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
-----
This evening, Scott and I ventured downtown to meet my parent's at Vittoria Trattoria for Dad's birthday celebration meal, and of course, since we were going to a somewhat nice place, it was raining out.
For once I brought an umbrella with me, but I would be lying if I said I brought it to stay dry. No I brought it because I thought I would be able to get a nice night shot in the rain.
I'm glad I thought to bring it, because I really like the way this turned out and it's pretty sharp for a hand held shot in such low light!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

It was late afternoon in autumn. I was sitting in the Byward Market Square and the girls came around the building with all the birds watching, including me.
This one is the first of three photos I took because they seem to keep walking around the Market in circle ...

The only thing more conspicuous in a street shooter's hands than a big ol' SONY logo would be a red dot...
I'm always amazed by the unique view the XF35mmF1.4 R lens brings to photography. It's really fun to use, and as such I'm a sucker for shooting wide open.
