Snowshoe morning

 It turned out to be a beautiful morning for our walk on snowshoes anticipated in Monday's post. Here are the pictures to prove it.

In the foreground of the first photo are two diplomats' wives on their way down to the river, with the Quebec bank in the distance and another group of diplomats and Canadians in the middle distance.

The second photo looking upstream shows the shadowy riverside trail (this bank faces north) with a hint of the Gatineau Hills on the horizon.

The third also shows the hills, with Carol trying out her new snowshoes on the frozen Ottawa itself; the river's very wide at this point.
