The following photo is my own, which I took on my cellphone on March 19th. This is a park and you can see it was a snowy day. I really don't mind. I wanted to take this photo to share with you all because there are vehicles in the park (you can click on the photo to see a larger view). They are there to make some type of kiosk for our Quebec maple syrup! I have to say that here in Quebec, as well as in Vermont in the U.S., we have the best maple syrup!  :)

I took this photo on a Montreal bus. Now, this particular bus has a shelf, as you can see here, which other Montreal buses do not have. This bus is the 747, which takes passengers from a Montreal metro station to the Montreal International Airport in Dorval (Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport)

I took this photo so that you can see above this shelf is the 747 number of the bus. They have this shelf in this particular bus for passengers to store their luggage, then they find a seat in the bus. I find it kind of neat that the number chosen for this bus is the 747, like the model of an airplane!

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

Neighbor's dog knocks on door every day to play with her friend :) (The Dodo)

Special needs groundhog with unusual face smells like onions (GeoBeats Animals)

Aime (Love) - Bruno Pelletier

Bruno Pelletier is a Quebec singer. This song about love is not referring to romantic love, but a deep love for our fellow human beings. He does mention in his song "love, it is the law of the Bible" Although this song is French, I think it is such a beautiful song, worthy of sharing here on my blog. The images in this video are powerful and beautiful, stirring up a profound example of the type of love Bruno Pelletier is referring to in his song. Enjoy.
