The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone on my walks here in Montreal. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
This photo is of myself and my cousin, Vince! He lives in Ontario and we don't get to see each other very often, so it was lovely to be able to see him again. We met earlier this month for breakfast to catch up on our news and enjoyed a nice meal together. I am just 5'0" tall, Vince is 6'2". :)
Another thing...when I created this post I hadn't realized that the title of the post would be so fitting...it just worked out this way! (I am referring to All Creatures Great and Small title) :) When I take my photos I try to share them in the order in which I take them, and it just so happened that this was the post that this photo is shared on. I have always been short. I have another cousin, now deceased, who was 12 years older than me and he was 6'4". :) I am 5'0".
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal. Enjoy! :)

I'm 5'5 and the short one in my family. My SIL' are 6'5 and 6'6!
What a wonderful post title, Linda! I read the book by the same title written by James Herriot and it is a joyful read. Oh, those flowers are lovely, they look like roses. Your cousin is so tall! Well, my father's side of the family are tall and both my brothers are. But I am only 5' 4". I used to lament, why am I the short one? LOL!
ReplyDelete..."When you manage your emotions and act with compassion, you are behaving as the real you." Linda, I wish that this was true of more people.
