It's an ideal summer's day today with the sun glistening on the ripples of the blue Rideau reflecting a blue sky. Purple vetch and marguerite daisies are in flower on its banks. I walked across St. Patrick Bridge twice today between concerts of the Music and Beyond Festival, and appreciated the clear river water and healthy reeds beneath the surface as I looked down into it. It compares favourably in that respect with the muddier and more polluted rivers of the Yangtze delta that I was looking at a month ago.
The only thing that spoils the immediate environment here is the noise of the traffic on St. Patrick Street.
