The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone in a beautiful Montreal park! I have no idea what any of the plants or flowers are, but I just found them pretty. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
There are a couple of stone walkways in this park, this is one of them.
As I mentioned at the beginning of my photos, I have no idea what the flowers and/or plants are called, I just found them beautiful, so I decided to take these photos and share them with you all!
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

Just letting you know that this post didn't show up in my newsfeed. Annoying how frequently this happens! Great quotes as always. My cats are my world, can't imagine my life without them. Love the pathway you photographed, as well as those two sculptured trees. Just gorgeous.
These words to live by are so inspirational and comforting! I love the photos from the park and the plants are so unique! I have never seen any of it except for one or two.
I like the one about small things done with love. It can make such a difference to the person receiving it! What a pretty park! Yes, still the Reader issues. I've also had troubles this week with not being able to sign into Google to comment. It seems to happen occasionally and then is fine for awhile.
...Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago-Warren Buffett, amen to this. As I approach 80, I still plant trees.
Hello Linda! I hope you have had a wonderful day! Love all the quotes today! Thank you for sharing. I love a stone path. We have one we are working on in our backyard.
I read the quote: "Many adults are still trying to earn the love they never received as kids. If you're one of them, I hope you know it wasn't your fault and you deserved so much more." And yes, that is often part of the depressions we struggle with.
Thank you for your explanation about your depression. Indeed, I didn't know, but neither did you, that I struggle with bouts of depression. I appreciate your honesty and openness about this as well. Thank you.
Also for your visits to my blog. We live very far apart, but still, everyone's visits, also your's to my site are valuable. Thank you for beeing there.
