Somewhere on Mount Royal

It was the end of April 2011; I was walking on Mount Royal, the mountain at the center of Montreal and a very popular park. The spirit of trees is not only in the tree, it's in the shadow of the trees, it's in the roots and branches and the seasonal change of leaves, from green to fall's variety of colours to these bare branches and the carpet of leaves on the ground.

Phillip's Square from The Bay

All but one of the following photographs were taken in 2011 when we used to go to The Bay and my wife would buy clothes at The Bay's Jacques Vert department, I think it was on the second or third floor. In Vancouver The Bay has a terrific cafeteria, full course meals, while the cafeteria at the downtown Montreal Bay store is good but not great.  Next to the cafeteria is a small, free, museum on the history of The Bay and it's worth visiting. Some of these photos were taken from the dress department just above the Ste. Catherine Street entrance to The Bay; that's Phillip's Square directly across the street, this is the entrance where the organ grinder played back in the 1950s.
