More Canadian Geese

Saw them at Too Good Pond. Many visitors feed them so they are fatter than the ones at Mill Pond. Still graceful though.

All things bright and beautiful ...

The Lord God made them all!

Yin Yang #2

Saw them at Downtown Disney. Does anyone know the name of these birds?

Rouge River Valley

Went for a hike in the Rouge River Valley. Loved this spot.

Yin Yang

Does anyone know the name of this creature? Found them at the Too Good Pond in Unionville ON. Also saw them in Gainesville FL.

Canadian Geese

Canadian geese are graceful birds. They are inhabitants of the Mill Pond and frequent visitors to the hospital grounds. I loved to see them fly. However, I still need to find a chance to catch that in pictures.

Old Montreal

Had a scenic walk in Old Montreal along the St. Lawrence River on Sept 13. It was cloudy at first but sunny afterwards. Loved the European flavor and the old buildings in the area. Coincidentally, it was the day of the Montreal International Marathon. Friendly bystanders cheered the runners on. The Basilica of Notre-Dame was holdindg a Sunday service, so my friends and I could not take the tour. Will be back next time I visit Montreal!

Pharmacies in Montreal

As usual, I went looking for pharmacies during my stay in Montreal. I was looking for a Pharmaprix for a special hair product that is only available in Montreal, but failing to get what I wanted, I took a picture of the store instead. I noticed that this store is a 22h store, not the 24h store we have in Ontario.

The Chinese name of this pharmacy in the Montreal Chinatown area is the same as a large pharmacy chain in Hong Kong. However, the French name is simply "pharmacie"!

Montreal at night

Had a nice stroll down St. Catherine Street at night on sept 11. Temperature was just right. All the big stores such as La Maison Simons, Apple, Laser Legend, etc were there! Also surprised to find rental bikes on the streets.

Fairmont Queen Elizabeth

I attended a conference in the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal last weekend. Really enjoyed my stay at this luxury hotel. It is only a short walk to the busy Saint Catherine's Street and the famous Simons store!

09/09/09

I had this soft-centered, hazelnut milk chocolate hedgehog to celebrate this special day of 09/09/09. It is made by Purdy's Chocolates. Very yummy indeed.

Inhabitants at Mill Pond

Wish I could pet them!

Geese crossing - watch out!

The grass is greener on the other side - even Canadian geese thought so. I witnessed a pack of Canadian geese crossing a busy road just outside the hospital when I went to work this morning. Having a camera with me, I took this series of pictures. The geese are very clever!
