The following are my own photos, which I took on my cellphone. You can click on each image to see a larger view.

This first photo is the inside of the Montreal metro.

These last three photos are of some of my reusable shopping bags. I will share some more in future posts.

I am sorry, but I did not know how to change the position of this photo. I think it is fine, though, that you can see the cat well enough. :)
