I HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING THESE LAST SUMMER DAYS!

Last Swim of the Summer

WELL, THERE MAY BE A FEW MORE SWIMMING DAYS LEFT THIS YEAR, BUT LABOR DAY WEEKEND IS A BOOKEND ON OUR SUMMER DAYS.

Montreal IV - Ghosts

THERE ARE SO MANY ARCHITECTURAL GHOSTS IN MONTREAL. I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN AND PHOTOGRAPH MORE OF THEM.

Montreal III - Chinatown

WE CAME UPON THE CHINATOWN GATE ON OUR WALK TO THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART.

I COULD NOT PASS UP THIS PHOTO OP!

A MESMERIZING SHOP WINDOW. I WANT TO PAINT THIS!

YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT'S ON TV IN THIS PHOTO, BUT IN THIS LITTLE PARK, PEOPLE ARE WATCHING THE OLYMPICS ON A HUGE TELEVISION SCREEN. THEY ARE ALSO PLAYING CHESS AND GENERALLY HANGING OUT TOGETHER IN THE SHADE. SO NICE!

Montreal II - Ladies and Lions: Architectural Carvings

A LOVELY VISAGE IN CHINATOWN . . .


A FIERCE OLD CITY FRIEZE . . .

A BECKONING LADY BETWEEN SHOP WINDOWS . . .

. . . AND YOU KNOW WHO AT HER BASILICA.

Petites Vacances à Montréal

WE ARRIVED FRIDAY EVENING, CHECKED IN TO HOTEL ST. PAUL, AND GOT DRESSED FOR DINNER. SUCH A RARE THING!

IN THE MORNING WE STROLLED THROUGH THE OLD CITY . . .

. . . TO THE NOTRE-DAME BASICILCA, THEN UP TO THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART. LOTS AND LOTS OF WALKING!

BY THE TIME WE GOT DOWN THE HILL AGAIN TO THE OLD CITY, OUR DOGS WERE YAPPIN'! FOUND A SWEET PLACE FOR LUNCH. I HAD A BEAUTIFUL ORANGE, CHEVRE & FENNEL SALAD ADORNED WITH TINY FLOWER PETALS.

I WANTED TO POST HERE ALL WEEKEND, BUT JUST AS WE WERE LEAVING OUR ROOM THIS MORNING, I DISCOVERED THE NECESSARY WIRE (WHICH ELUDED ME ALL WEEKEND) FOR USING THE INTERNET THERE! CE'ST LA VIE! MORE MONTREAL POSTS THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK.

Surfin' Safari

WOW. I'M SURE I'LL NEVER SURF. I THINK I MISSED OUT ON SOMETHING REALLY GREAT! I LOVED WATCHING THESE GUYS RIDE THE WAVES. I DIDN'T SEE ANY WOMEN OUT THERE, ALTHOUGH THE ONES WHO DIDN'T CATCH WAVES WERE JUST BLACK SPECS IN THE DISTANCE. SO AMAZING!

The Ocean, the Ocean . . .

AH.

A Windy Stroll

WALKING "THE CLIFF WALK" IN NEWPORT IS AN ODD COMBINATION OF THE RAW POWER OF NATURE AND THE ORDERED, LAVISH WORLD OF THE GILDED AGE.
