The following photos are my own, which I took on Friday, April 24th with my cellphone. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
I found this pothole in the parking lot of a shopping mall. Yes, Spring is a beautiful season, but there are hazards that come with it...potholes, flooding, just to name two! So please be careful when you walk, sometimes you may not see a pothole, and you can twist an ankle or worse! This happened to a woman here in Montreal that was on the news, she got hurt pretty badly.
I took this photo of the sign outside of one of my favourite housewares stores here in Montreal. Hart! The sign is in French, as pretty much all signs here in Quebec, so I will translate it for you all so that you can understand. "maison en gros" means "in bulk store"
They get their items directly from the manufacturer, which transfers to savings for customers. A great store!
I came across a little sparrow who had a nest in the top part of a bus shelter. How I found him? He was chirping away! So adorable! You can see the nest on the upper middle part of my photo and you should also be able to see the sparrow as well! (by clicking on this picture to see a larger view)
An American Eagle store in a mall.
The following photos I took of a beautiful display in a mall! These are the remainder of the photos from my last post. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French). Although the majority of these gags are done here in Montreal, they have traveled to different countries as well to do them, and this particular one was done in Europe. Enjoy! :)

Boa noite, minha querida amiga Linda. Um excelente mês de maio para você e todos os seus familiares em Montreal. A reflexão que eu mais gostei, foi a primeira "A atitude é um pequeno detalhe que faz grande diferença". Grande abraço do seu amigo carioca e brasileiro. Uma excelente noite de domingo e um bom início de semana.
I love today's theme - Simplicity and Tranquility! Keeping things simple, whatever they may be and having tranquility is a blessing. I dislike complication and chaos! Oh, love your photos of the pretty and colorful flowers! I also love ferns. They are beautiful!
