::Second annual Montreal Christmas trip::

A few rules for those of us who love architecture: 1. Don't forget to look up. 2. Go up and down every alleyway you find. 3. Look at everything zoomed out & in.

 

Taking the long way around, we stopped at Parc Omega on the way home. It was particularly magical this year because the falling snow coated the animals in a white blanket.

::They can't help it::

Every few movements becomes a dance with these girls. A slowing of the arm as they reach to grab a glass. A slide of the foot along the floor as they move from point A to B. A few full-body rotations when I half-turn would have sufficed. They can't help it.

::Christmas Ornaments 2015::

Year two of my Twelve Days of Christmas ornament series. On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me A Partridge in a Pear Tree.

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me:

Two Turtle Doves.

::Cottage Life::

 Cottage life: Taking everything slow. . . and eating a lot more food.
