Square St. Louis

Sometimes, the best moments happen by complete chance. I'm sure it's something I've mentioned before but it's also something that I was reminded of time and again in Montreal. Some of the best afternoons I had happened when I ventured out without any itinerary in mind - the only thought I had would be today, I'm going to see where life takes me. :) It's the choice to step away from expectations and the freedom you give yourself that really makes the difference.

This is Square St. Louis, a place I happened to stumble across just because I thought the alleyway leading up to it was pretty. Here was a park, still showing the last vestiges of a winter almost gone, beautiful in its solitude and silence.



This is the row of Victorian houses that is ALWAYS on Montreal postcards! :D Prior to this, I'd never been able to figure out where the photos were taken! But they are always on postcards. Imagine how happy I was to have my own postcard shots.











Took me awhile but... finally there was a squirrel that was too busy eating to scurry off when I wanted to take its picture. :) 

What else about that day? Oh, it was coldddd. And now I'm starting to miss that feeling of chilled fingers beneath gloves, and the puffs of condensed mist blown out every time I felt like reminding myself of just where I was.
