The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on a cloudy day. They are not very good photos, but I just wanted you all to see that the flowers are starting to bloom here in Montreal. I took these photos on May 5th!
I wanted to emphasize in this photo the clouds in the sky and these two trees. One is just starting to get its buds, the other the leaves are starting to bloom.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

I need this reminder right now.

Your red flowers are starting to grow.
You're overcast too? This is the time of year where our mornings are mostly overcast, though the sun broke through this afternoon.
ReplyDelete"Beauty cleans the mind" -- yes, I believe that is true! Always look for beauty around you, in whatever form it may take!
