Friday, August 1st, 2008How could I not love this city?
It’s giving us Shakespeare, in the park, by the river, with amazingly good performers, for free!
We went to see a play by master Shakespeare last week. It was put together by these young actors from Repercussion Theatre. Although I would not mind to go to an old fashioned play […]
We saw whales!
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Again, apologies are required… But I hope I’ll make it up to all of you who are still reading my ramblings by saying that I came a few inches closer to having a “Free Willy” experience.
As I was saying, D and I went to this very picturesque village, called Tadoussac.
It’s only 800 km from […]
Blogger apologies
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008My blog is suffering from being ignored for so many weeks… Don’t cry little bloggie! Mama’s back.
I haven’t posted in quite a while because I’ve been extremely busy at the lab, it’s been quite hot outside these last few weeks hence I too was suffering… from chronic boredom.
This weekend D and I were in Tadoussac, […]
The persistence of memory
Thursday, June 12th, 2008See any resemblance between Dali’s masterpiece and this bike-leftover seen outside an apartment building?
Speaking about space-time continuum, right?
Underground
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008I took these shots a few weeks ago while I was wondering through Montreal’s underground shopping galleries. It’s like there’s another world out there!
Up: Metro Namur (weird metal thingies hanging from the ceiling)Down: left- Metro McGill, right- Eaton Centre
Chocolaterie inside Eaton Centre
Newspapers at McGill station
Metro leaving McGill station
Phones and soda at McGill […]
Reminds me of Sin City
Thursday, June 5th, 2008This picture was taken a few night ago when we had this amazing thunder storm. I was hoping to get the photo of a lightening but alas, it’s really difficult. Especially in the city.
Montreal at dusk
Saturday, May 31st, 2008We took our Canon 18-55 mm lens for a test drive a few weeks ago and took these shots at sunset in a nearby park:
For these ones I set the focus at different distances and took 3 shots from the same place. I like what they turned out to be because they’re quite unusual:
I’d bring my pillow on a desert island
Friday, May 30th, 2008D: “You wouldn’t last a day in the wild!”
Me: “How do you know?”
D: “I just know.”
Me: “Oh, and you would?”
D: “Doh!”
Me: “How would you survive and I wouldn’t?”
D: “I would hunt for food, you would just pick mushrooms and spinach. I see myself chasing an antelope with a spear in my hand… Like a cheetah… […]
Flower power
Monday, May 26th, 2008What do you get when you put together a Canon macro lens and a trip to Montreal’s Jardin Botanique? Let me show you what you get:
A picture of my feet taken while D decided to take a nap on the grass. So what if we’re outside, in a park? It’s nap time! So while I […]
After the rain
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Last Saturday afternoon D and I bought some lunch and went to the park. And just our luck, it started raining. After we waited for an eternity under a tree hoping for the deluge to stop, we got so bored that we decided to go home despite the apocalyptic downpour. And here’s what we found […]
