Sketches in Stillness

The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on Thursday, April 23rd. I came across this cross and decided to take this photo. It was a gorgeous day...cool, sunny and perfect for walking! You can click on any image to see a larger view.

This is a statue in front of a Catholic church.

Same statue as in the photo above; however, this time you can see the left tower of the church behind it, so this photo is at a slightly different angle. Note how beautiful and blue the sky is!!! As well, they are doing some work on the right tower, which is why it looks kind of ugly. :)

These last photos are ones I took in a shopping mall! Yes, they had a stunning display that I enjoyed so much and wanted to share! You can click on any image to see a larger view.

The following photos are my own, which I took on Thursday, April 23rd! The very first flowers that I came across here in Montreal...so far! They are tiny and I don't know what they are, but I wanted to take a photo of them. You can click on any image to see a larger view.

I don't have a car and I use public transit...bus and metro. I came across this device for electric cars on my walk. I wonder if this looks similar to any in your part of the world. Note how beautiful the sky was in this photo. It was a gorgeous day. 

I have no idea what make of car this is, but I took a photo of it because it is unusual for me...it looks so different from other cars that I usually see!

I took this photo in a mall...the BMO stands for Bank of Montreal.

I took this photo in a shopping mall as well. David's Tea is a wonderful store that has fresh leaf teas! Their teas are delicious!
