The following photos are ones that I took in Montreal around 2014. You can click on each photo to see a larger view. 



Another fountain I found on a walk; of course I couldn't resist taking a photo of it. 


I love to take walks in nature, as you all know. I took this photo in a nature park...it is a picture of a swampy area and I fell in love with the view, green and tranquility.





This last photo was taken about a year and a half ago with my friend Linda, who is 6 years older than I (she is 74). She is on the left with the red sweater and I am on the right. We were celebrating my 67th birthday at a restaurant. (October 27, 2023) I am holding a little Poodle in my lap. This Poodle belongs to the restaurant owner and was on the premises at the time, so I decided he should join us to celebrate my birthday. :)




The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)


This next video is a 3-minute Relaxation Meditation Music video. 


This last video is of a cow that is in love with accordion music. Absolutely delightful. I love cows! :)
