The following are my own photos that I took years ago, in 2013. You can click on each image to see a larger view.









The following photos are ones I took myself this month on my cellphone! This is a followup of the series of photos from my last post! These photos were all taken at Jean Drapeau Park (Ile Ste Helene, St. Helen's Island), in Montreal at the old Expo 67 World's Fair (1967) location. You can click on each image to see a larger view. Please visit the Expo 67 link to learn more about this place.





Of course, as most of you know by now, I have no idea what types of flowers these are. I just found them pretty and loved the colours so I decided to take photos of them. :)








Yes, I took a selfie, my first one! I was in the washroom and liked the pretty wallpaper, so I decided to take this photo and include myself in it.



Since I have been sharing photos of St. Helen's Island here in Montreal, where Expo 67 took place in 1967, this is a video of the song made for this celebration! It is a lovely, catchy tune that is both French and English and has some beautiful scenery of how St. Helen's Island looked back in 1967! Thank you so much for checking out this video!
The gentleman shown at the end of this video is Jean Drapeau, who was the Montreal Mayor back then and he was the man who made it possible for Expo 67 to take place here in Montreal!
After his death, the name of the Ile Ste-Helene metro/subway station was changed from Ile Ste-Helene to Jean Drapeau. You can find out more about him by clicking on this link


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


This next video is of a seagull that has the "gall" to steal this cat's food.  :)


This last video is very relaxing and beautiful. It is an Aqua Harp! Enjoy!

  4. I like the quote about brushing your brain :) and about the fact if cats could talk they wouldn't, I think that would be true of one of our cats but the other one is quite the talker now, you ask him a question and he answers back, LOL!
    Beautiful pics, a lot of them remind me of the Park in St. Louis were they held the world fair many years ago.
