The Biodome / New Year's Eve

Sara and I went to the Biodome on New Year's Eve, it was a lot of fun!

We saw a ton of animals...

This makes me laugh. A lot. :D

I think the otters were my favorite.

Penguins! How cute are they?!

We saw all different kinds, and of course we saw puffins as well. :)

And fuzzy babies!!! ♥ I wanted to sneak them into my camera bag.

New Year's Eve dinner! :)

Sara and I shared a crème brûlée, they're quite good.

After dinner we went to the Old Port to see fireworks at midnight!

After three hours of waiting in the rain, we were cold and wet but it was definitely a New Year's Eve to remember. :)

Fireworks time! It was rainy, smokey and foggy so it was hard to get pictures, but I got a few good ones!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ♥

Old Montreal and the Old Port

Back in December, when we both got cameras, Wendy and I decided to do a "Four Seasons in Montreal" project which has been really, really fun! What we do is we go to certain places in Montreal with pretty scenery (for example: Old Montreal, Mount Royal, Beaver Lake, Downtown, the Atwater and Jean-Talon markets) and we go every season and take pictures of the same things we did the previous season to see Montreal in every season. It's a lot of fun to take pictures together and go through them when we get home and critiquing each other's pictures, I really enjoy it! Today we went back to Old Montreal for summer pictures, and the Old Port, which made for beautiful pictures as well!

Starting off with Old Montreal...

Onto the Old Port!

...and back to Old Montreal

Up and down cobble roads in town, I walked alone.
That lyric is from one of my favorite songs "Life Goes On" by Simple Plan's guitarist, Sebastien Lefebvre. Whenever I walk through Old Montreal I think of that song because of the cobblestone streets and walking around the city in the afternoon. Love it!

Another thing I really love about Old Montreal is the horse and buggy rides all around town.

And that would be all! I'm looking forward to going back in the fall, but maybe we'll go a few more times before summer is over, we shall see!
(P.S.: You can go here (winter) and here (spring) to see the other Old Montreal pictures in other seasons! Next up is fall!)

Old Montreal in Spring

So, you may remember back in December, I went to Old Montreal to take some winter shots for my "Four Seasons in Montreal" project. Well, now it's spring, so we went back! It was lovely, a perfect day for photography. I took lots of pictures, but the above 11 are my favorites from the day! Hopefully one of these days I'll go back to Mount Royal and take spring pictures there. :)
