These last two photos are my own photos, which I took here in Montreal in 2013. The first one is turtles on a rock in a nature park.



This is a photo I took in 2013 here in Montreal at the Botanical Gardens. This was in the Chinese Garden area.




This very short video is one done here in Montreal by the Just for Laughs Group. It is a Just for Laughs Gag. In French, Just pour Rire. No matter what language you speak, you will understand what is happening in the video. Enjoy! :)
