The following photo is my own, which I took on my cellphone on December 2nd. I had an appointment with my ophthalmologist that day in a hospital, and I came across this Christmas display as I was walking in the hospital to my appointment I thought it was cute and decided to take this photo. You can click on the image to see a larger view.

This photo I took in a Montreal park. The red balls you see in this photo are actually lights! I was thrilled with the way the city decorated this park. They also made a skating rink in the park for anyone wanting to get some exercise by enjoying some time skating.

The white snowflake you see in this photo is another light that the city put up...this time attached to a street lamp.

As those of you who are regular followers of my blog know, all the photos I have been sharing are taken on my cellphone. You will also know that I am new at taking night shots. These beautiful trees were in the same park as the above photos. I managed to get close enough to capture these two trees, and I am very happy with the way it turned out! You can see shimmers of the red lights reflecting on the snow!  :) Yes, I now have this on my blog header!

The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy!  :) The first Gag with the fighting Santas. The little girl is part of the gag. Notice that a lady left her with another woman to watch...the adult watching the girl was not part of the gag. I mention this because of a couple of comments about concerns of the fight happening in front of a child. This child knew about this, because she was part of this gag. As well, she was the only child present! It is only the adults in the video (except for the woman who left the little girl with another adult), who were not part of the gag. Also notice the little girl waves and smiles for the camera at the end of the video. Thank you so much for your kind comments.
