Wow again. The in-the-moment nature of this is vivid. Who was it that said we're all like ducks, seemingly serene on the top of the water while paddling madly underneath it?

Not sure I was that calm on the surface, but perhaps I was.

I am astounded by my young self. Some things I do remember quite well.

Wow - you did have good weather and took great photos. What a lovely medley of colours captured by your photos and by your description of the changing views of Lac Beauvert: apparently, appropriately named.

I've done the subway-in-&-out whirlwind "tour" of Washington DC - your report makes me want to spend enough time there to visit the various museums.

Washington DC is an excellent tourist destination, with innumerable museums and art galleries.

I feel your heat-stroke-style pain. Touring in 97F temps is tough - but what are you going to do? You're there. I fell in love with your photo of the Metro Central Station, but couldn't find anything online that spoke to the street-level portion. Quite justifiably, everyone talked about the vaulted design of the underground bits.

Neither could I find anything about the Metro Central Staion exterior, which looks historic - an attractive building.

A lovely reminder that trips need not take us to exotic locations to be worthwhile. Vermont (the little I've seen) is a beautiful State. i wonder who first had the idea that led by slow stages to today's gondola.

Beautiful views and historic houses in Vermont - exotic enough.

The small towns around Ottawa are fascinating, each with its own character. Thanks for a reminder that time marches - it's been a while since I was in Almonte, and it sounds as if I should go again.

Artwork affixed to trees?
How is that done without damaging the treess?

Artwork on Trees
I seem to remember ties were used to affix the artwork, although I didn't look at everything.

Thanks for a glimpse of the new Banff, compared to the one I remember from my childhood, from trips there with my children, and from a conference trip 40 years ago. (Yikes.) About 40 years ago I also read a near-future sci-fi book (50 years) that saw people making reservations to get into US national parks. It seems we may get there right on schedule. Love your shots of the Falls, and of the pinecone sculpture.

I know you (like me) have also seen England's fields from the air. There's sure no mistaking SK for that green and pleasant land, is there? All straight lines and huge areas. Wow. And you got great shots of the rain storms.
