When she was little, I told her this garden was hers. We lived across the street from it, the Château Ramezay garden. She is now very much grown up, but it still troubles her. "Mom, was that really MY garden?" she asked the other day...

Nelson ponders...
YMC asked me to take this shot. It was a very good idea...problem is my lens was incredibly filthy. Time for spring cleaning.

Howdy!
As I pass this door everyday, this dude keeps eyeing me, so I decided to give him a view of the web!

First sight 2008
I don't know if the stars were aligned but in any case, I was strictly concentrating on the garbage at dog's eye level, and let me tell you there was plenty of it (pizza boxes, broken bottles, confetti, beer cans, paper, chip wrappers...never mind the broken cobble stones). Once I looked at it standing up, the burst of laughter made a couple estranged tourists turn around to spot me...the garbage truck passing at just that moment and me snapping at that very second...well, let's just say I couldn't have planned it if I had tried. Analyze that as a message!
Happy new year!
Who stole my bicycle!! Just kidding. But it looked so lonely, lost in the snow, most likely since this summer/fall.

Sapins éblouis
As much as the snow was a pain in the butt for many of you, I loved it. It has been quite a while since so much of it fell upon us. Brightens everything around here in town (until it turns to grey brown slushy stuff).

La Place Jacques Cartier
La pauvre Place Jacques Cartier, tellement malmenée. C'est histoire, c'est patrimoine, c'est trop con que les gens de Montréal la perçoive si mal. Si vous lui donniez une petite chance, vous vous rendriez peut-être compte qu'elle essaie très fort et ses gens, ses Montréalais lui manque énormément.

What a storm it was
The sky turned a strange yellow hue, for a good hour or so. Then, the rain came down. People were walking around calmly under the downpour so as to wash away the heat of the day. Then, as the rain stopped, this little bit of sky came out to contrast with the orange pink clouds...and what a sight it was.

Photographer in tow..
Newlyweded couples usually prefer the quiet of the park atop Place Jacques Cartier for their pictures...but these two definitely wanted the crowd!
