I literally woke up this morning at 4:40 you shower you shave and you then look
at what your going to wear. Thereafter I was the one to have all things done and I talked
to this one neighbour in brief while I was taking out the garbage as today is garbage day
in this part of Quebec.
Then I thought do I want to sit here idle or do I just wish to be me and enjoy some of these
left over days. A few really great things happened and I hope you do understand that I do have
to get my knees done - it's called two implants of a substance. However, it's hot I have never drank
so much water in my life and literally thought of just jumping into the water mind you I don't have my
summer things here aside of a few shirts.
What more can I put to this as I am thinking. The taxi drivers here all have come up
with a thing that they don't charge me from now till when I leave. I really could write and shall write much
on especially two gents that came here from Romania but to sit idle is to sit and literally die. To engage in
your own way and enjoy the simple things ......while during this waiting time to head back...is life itself. I met 6 people and it's ironic the stories that they all have. Mind you they are good ones.
ReplyDeleteYou have some really wonderful shots , loved this one of all the flowers in their tubs xx
Looks to be inspired by Picasso.
ReplyDeleteGreat old house. They have really kept it up.
ReplyDeleteThink what they save on lawn care every year. ;-)

ReplyDeleteThanks Rosie as this is a wind down from not till Thursday.....I shall get to other blogs promise!
ReplyDeleteDoug really not sure, it was there when I was dropped off and it sits in front of what I think....I think is the temporary city hall as there are renovations going on and when I go into the city, one lady did take here time to explain and talk. There after I just went with my camera.
ReplyDeleteDoug it's all so European...
ReplyDeleteExactly Jack.
ReplyDeleteIncredible lighting and statues.
ReplyDeleteOne feels as if you are looking at the throne room at St Peter's itself.
ReplyDeleteA great pictorial tour Jack. Thanks.
ReplyDeletenice photos,wishing you a great week
ReplyDeleteNice Jack they are all really nice i can se why they are your favs
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos, really nice. The buildings in the first half are very similar to some of the buildings in Scotland, especially buildings in glasgow. Not sure why but they do have the same look about them.
ReplyDeletewow, very colourful, would like something similar to this in my garden, bit smaller maybe but similar to this.
ReplyDeletevery nice, the columns show off the perspective very well
ReplyDeletelike this one, looks like an original medieval building
ReplyDeletejust realise................silly me!! it couldn't possibly be an original medieval building, the country is not that old :-)
ReplyDeletelove this one too..................
ReplyDeletewonderful detail, very nice shot.
ReplyDeleteanother one that looks really old..................how old are these buildings??
ReplyDeleteI've seen very similar buildings to this in Glasgow, build end nineteenth century/ start twentieth century...........
ReplyDeletelove those flowers hanging over the roof of the building, how pretty
ReplyDeletebeautiful, perfect detail shot
ReplyDeleteanother one that has a very 'Scottish' feel to it
ReplyDeletelol.... great piece of street art
ReplyDeletepretty detail
ReplyDeleteDoug just capturing something within these last days is something that one really wishes to take so much in but within a city this large it's not as easy as it seems but I was looking for symbolic pictures that there after I had within a reserve. Yeah there is not m much grass there. This is an area called Old Montreal.... :) You got me, and then you got me before lol.
ReplyDeleteLiterally there is an array and it's hard to get in a write these days but I hope to Jules as I love pictures yet I love the merit of writing as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you much Loretta, the french were much different to the stone masons of Scotland especially the ones that came from the Orkneys....
ReplyDeleteThank you much Loretta.
ReplyDeleteThis is the largest church (catholic) in all of Quebec. I would have like to see better lighting under the circumstances but it's been on of my favs. This is Notra Dame....when I first arrived here within the first two weeks was here.
ReplyDeleteIronically this picture is sone that I find very neat to say the least - but right now I am just building up my photo bank of this place.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about this one not bragging but if anyone remembers Ansel Adams - if this was in Black and White. :)
Ohh it really is a garbage day* :)
ReplyDeletethat is for me is fun ... throwing what isn't needed.
... heaven ...
ReplyDeleteloved this one.
ReplyDeletethis is what they say, landscaping[?] ... but hey! what happened [?] laughs*
ReplyDeleteloving it.
ReplyDeletemy fave.
ReplyDeletegosh ... the arrangement is so beautiful! love it!
ReplyDeletei don't know why ... but it reminded me of pagan rituals long time ago, going back to our old literature [?]
ReplyDelete... i don't like it ... pardon me ... Jack
And lastly with all these comments, i wish your knees gets well, Jack. take care.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and tight hugs. :)
Just got in and it feels like 100 and I have never looked into Pagan rituals....this here is a fountain of spirit and laugh in an areas of what is known as Jacques Cartier place.....it's kind of like Bourbon street that is known in the US yet 500 yard beyond it all is the first or the inception to the public of the first Cirque du Soleil...
ReplyDeleteOh am sorry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the educational information ...
Thanks as they are Maritess...slowly but surely.
