Tirez…

Not an unusual sight… at least in Montréal.   I mean the sign on the door. “Tirez” It always catches my eye. Most people are now oblivious to the possible misunderstanding it could provoke. Not me.

Definately Autumn…

  Gone summer… For two days now, Autumn has settled in Montréal. The trees had dressed in different shades of yellows, oranges and reds a while ago, but it didn’t really count yet, since it was still very warm all day, and the sun was almost always out there shining high and bright.
