a saturday walk

A walk in Gatineau Park...

We've had a few weeks of incredibly beautiful weather, with hardly even a spit of rain. Then on Friday the heavens pretty much opened and the rain didn't take time to come down. Then on Saturday we got some rain showers on and off, along with lots of sunshine in between.

Yesterday, amid the sunshine and showers, we decided to take a drive to Gatineau Park, get some ice-cream and walk one of the trails there. It was so nice, the trees sheltered us from both the sun and rain and the warm humid air made for some hungry mosquitoes! Let's just say we walked briskly through some parts - stopping for photos wasn't happening so much!

In a couple of these photos you can see the little gullies where parts of the trails were washed away in Friday's crazy rainstorm. Lilah enjoyed jumping over them. And there were puddles galore, much to Lilah's satisfaction - I guess rain boots would have worked better!
