So many places like home
« Previous EntriesMontreal boutiques
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008The boutiques around here are very original. So D and I have made it our little project to photograph the ones that catch our eye.
Here are a few colorful examples, mainly from Old Montreal area.
The next one is actually a house number.
The Tempest in the park
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 […]
Amanda Mabro at the Montreal Jazz Festival
Friday, July 18th, 2008D and I went to the Jazz Festival (26 June - 5 July)last week. I’m really sorry we didn’t go before - I mean there are people coming from all over the US and sometimes the world (!!!) for this festival and we live 3 blocks away and didn’t manage to get our behinds out […]
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

French-ness
Monday, June 2nd, 2008One of the things I miss the most about France is the wonderful French desserts - such as the exquisite crème brûlée.
But I’m so happy there’s this wonderful bakery Au pain doré 2 min away from where we live. They have all these amazing French pastries (and I’ve made a pledge to myself to […]
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:
Au clair de la lune…
Thursday, May 15th, 2008The moon was gorgeous this month and I just didn’t get tired of looking at it. D took lots of pictures:
Here’s one from 2 weeks ago, shot without a tripod but with a huge ISO.
A few nights ago D looked out the window and said “I think the moon deserves a picture, don’t you?” […]
