Failed to get a photo of the pair of very large fish (perch? bass?) that we saw from a bridge over the Rideau River, but I did snap some of the other local wildlife. The squirrel accosted us by the Ottawa River Rapids near Mud Lake. The raccoon was in the sanctuary for stray cats on Parliament Hill. The dragonfly was in my friend Tanya's garden.
Walt Whitman preferred animals to human beings:
... They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things...
