Early Summer Sun-showers – A Photo Safari in 2022

Late June has brought the rains we normally get in April. I'm not complaining; it allowed us to set up the deck furniture and enjoin early Spring with he geese and ducks driving shortly after an early. ice-break on Riviere-des-Prairies.

Under The Tracks – Montreal Walls Project – Thirty-Five

On a little walk around the Georges-Vanier & Lucien-Lallier metro stations, there are intriguing brownstones facing the ivy covered walls of the elevated train tracks. Wherever there is a clear space between the vegetation, we find graffiti tags in various stages of decay. The remarkable thing is how vibrant the colours have remained over the … Continue reading Under The Tracks – Montreal Walls Project – Thirty-Five
