On the rocks

While my dad and Marie were visiting, I thought they would enjoy seeing one of the 7 Wonders of Ottawa - the Balancing Rocks of the Ottawa River. It is actually a work by a local artist, who spends all of his time making little rock sculptures using the rocks found on site and nothing else. The rocks are precariously balanced and there are warnings everywhere saying not to touch the sculptures. Oops, I forgot Gabrielle can't read.



No matter, G loved jumping around and was mostly interested in splashing around with her rain gear.



Rocks shmocks, look at the little fish!



Papa in his classic Soviet-style pose for the camera: arms tight by the side, standing at attention, face showing no joy. And then 3 seconds later:



Reality strikes! :-)
