The following photos are my own photos which I took in 2013 during my walks around Montreal. You can click on each image to see a larger view.







This last photo is one I took this month on my cellphone.


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


This next video is about Claude Monet and his garden. Claude Monet is my favourite artist! I love colours, I love nature and I love gardens and flowers...it seems that he had a lot in common with me. 


This last video is a beautiful and touching story. A man with Down's Syndrome owns a restaurant. He has a beautiful and kind spirit, he is upbeat and he serves food, drinks....and hugs to his customers. His customers love him and it is easy to see why! Enjoy!
