Today I went for a walk and took pictures of the Canada Geese gathering together on the Rideau Canal. Talk about a heritage minute… (Click on the photos for full-size.)

There were quite a lot of geese.

If it walks like a goose and talks like a goose…

Most of the geese were at the Carleton end of Dow’s Lake.

There are a lot of nice trees along the canals.

Dinner time! No, not for me, for the geese. I’m pretty sure eating a Canada goose is against the law. Sheesh.

These two seemed happy together.

There was an older gentleman watching the geese from the other side of the canal. You can make out his reflection in the water.

The view from the river, looking in to the park.

Periodically, a group of geese would take to the air.

Looks a lot like fall is here.
