              Purrs of Wisdom with Ingrid King

A cat's kind of wisdom. People wait all day for bedtime, all week for the weekend, all year for a break, all their lives for "someday". But your cat? They nap when they're tired, purr when they're happy and chase joy now. Maybe they're onto something.

The following photos are ones I took with my cellphone on July 31st. These are all photos of the Westmount Greenhouse. This first photo is the view from outside of the entrance. You can, as always, click on any image to see a larger view. Westmount is a city/borough on the island of Montreal. 

As usual, I have no idea what the plants and flowers are called. However, if I think I know, I will mention this above the photo I am sharing.

I think the red flowers in the photo below are Calla Lilies. Please correct me if I am wrong in your comment.

I think this is a Hibiscus.

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

The following video is a cute, short and humourous video entitled "Long Steven, Rain"

I love this video. Spreading the joy of laughter on a train! Enjoy! :)

African Giant Pouch Rats. (for those of you who may not like rats or who may be afraid of rats, I challenge you to watch this less than 2 minute video. It may just change your perception of these beautiful and intelligent creatures). :)
