A true summer (sunny, hot, and humid) day today.

Mud Lake, Ottawa revisited
Given that school begins tomorrow and I now have a valid bus pass, I decided to go to Mud Lake today to do some wildlife-watching before the hectic school semester begins. The last time I was there was almost nine months ago, so everything are different now, especially temperature-wise. To read more about the different types of wildlife one can encounter at Mud Lake at different times of the year, read this post at the blog The Pathless Wood.

Critters behind DNA building
Just some photos I took behind the DNA building this afternoon when I came outside to eat my lunch.
First woolly bear I saw this season crossing the parking lot. I saw a (squished) one while I was biking home later in the day.
