Aujourd’hui, je vais parler en francais
We’ve only been away on vacation in Montreal less than 48 hours and I’m already hopelessly jealous of people who can speak the French language. I can’t get over it. Two languages. Two forms of communication. They get to CHOOSE how they want to communicate. Shall I “parlez a vous en Francais aujourd’hui?” or shall I “talk to you in English today?” Not fair. I want to learn. Unfortunately as a Vancouverite, despite the fact that French is one of Canada’s official languages–I never hear the language. On the West Coast, we’re too far away from Quebec or any of the federal parliament buildings where French is spoken as often as English.
(Side note: I’m typing this on my laptop while we’re trying to make our way out of Montreal onto the highway to head to upstate NY. My brain is being shaken by all the sudden twists and turns and the occasional passionate-bashing-of-the-GPS-lady by my father. So much going on, it’s a wonder I can write at all.)
We spent the day downtown yesterday and it was fabulous. I love this city. I love cities. I love fashion in cities. Coffee shops in cities. I love my brown riding boots that I recently got fixed and now plan to wear obsessively all Fall and Winter. They make any outfit sixty-three times better. It’s a fact. I love Autumn. Autumn in Quebec is gorrrrrrgeous. Magical even. The more I see the world, the more I fall in love with Jesus, who created it all. Incredible.
My passion for photography started on a Boston/Montreal East-Coast trip three years ago. Sixteen year old me and my little Canon Rebel XT. I was in love with photography and travel and prayed I’d get to do this for the rest of my life. It’s neat to have visited Boston last week, and now be back in Montreal. It all comes full-circle. Neat to be back. I’m enjoying shooting travel images lately:
I take photos. So does my mother. Just with a different camera. ;) Yesterday: through her eyes.
18 squirrel pictures and you post 2? ;) more squirrels please.
The squirrel picture where the squirrel is being fed is UNREAL. woaaah. crazy.
Yep, I’m definitely getting brown riding boots this fall! Way cute picture of you!

Nice set! I’d love for these photos to end up in some sort of “this is canada” type magazine!
Wonderful how you captured that squirrel.
It was nice seeing photos of your mom and by your mom!
I love your photos!
You started with a Rebel…….there is hope for me yet! :)
Oh! I’m jealous of the autumn colors! I live in Texas and the colors are starting to change a little, but not like that! Enjoy them for me!
Great post :) I love the first ones of the leaves on the tree, and it’s nice seeing photos taken by your mom :) Very cute :)
I can’t believe you got THATCLOSE to the squirrel to feed it! I can never get that close. Great pics. Montreal is beautiful – I must visit – it’s not that long of a drive from Toronto.
HA! I laughed so hard at those squirrel pictures! That is too funny.
Very nice!!! Love the squirrel!

i think the girls who could smile real big and miraculously and we could still see their eyes should be jealous of your smile with the small eyes b/c it looks cuter :P
I want the squirrel.
{img}459_61{/img} – When I worked in Boston I would have my lunch on the Boston Common and there was this squirrel that was just as brave as this one, ‘cept he ate nuts out of a jar lol.
You’re so cute! And you weren’t kidding about those squirrels! They’re literally eating out of the palm of your hand!
great pictures! and where oh where did you get your boots? love them – please send them my way pronto. :)
Seeing all these pictures REALLY makes me want to move away from the South to somewhere with a Fall season that starts earlier in the year. Beautiful photos.
That squirrel is AWESOME! My son would freak out if a squirrel didn’t run from him when he tried to say “Hey squiwwel!”
Images are beautiful, as usual ;)
LOL!! I can write to you in French if you want! Je peux t’écrire en français si tu veux ! :)
Great pics!! Tes photos sont super ! J’adore ! ;))
