Fancy Rocks - Museum of Nature

 Some rocks and crystals from the wonderful collection at the Museum of Nature in Ottawa.

I hope you are all keeping healthy. Every day brings changes here. The nursing homes are on lock-down which is sad but necessary. My mother can't read a letter or work a phone by herself, so I am left with messages given to the workers in the home to be passed on to her. We are cutting back on socializing and outings. At least the weather is sunny and going for a walk or a drive is pleasant. The people in the cities will have a rougher time of it.

More Science and Tech

 Some more photos from the Museum of Science and Tech in Ottawa. A  large anchor perhaps used on a CP steamship.

 A snazzy old car. I love the yellowy-green colour and the wood panelling. The white-wall tires complete the look.  It's towing a small wood-panelled trailer.

 The early days of camping. Not quite your modern RV.

An amphibian car.  I guess they weren't that successful or you would still see them around.

Got a toothache?

 This is the Crazy Kitchen.  Sorry the photo is so blurry but whenever I walk through this little room, no matter how much I tell myself it's just optical illusions, I always feel woozy which is what it is supposed to do you. Quite remarkable. It has a sturdy railing to hang on to for good reason.

 Here's a model of a dog suited up for search and rescue. It even has ear protectors.  They also had a model of a horse with a fitness tracker on a collar on its neck.
The Museum has lots of other cool stuff but the lighting is often on the dark side which makes photos difficult.
