Lac des castors


To the west of Mont Royal there is Lac des Castors but there weren't any castors in it. Very disappointing. There were lots of ducks and fishes and children feeding those ducks and fishes.

Judging by the signs close to the lake there must be a mini-skiing hill somewhere close by. At least they have a remontée mécanique. What is it called in English? Not a chairlift, not a gondola lift thing... really, I should know. There must be a more generic name than "j-bar".

In other news, in a way I'm glad I'm going home tomorrow (at midnight, who makes planes leave at midnight?) as my feet are starting to protest. Actually my black chucks are almost ready to fall apart but the photo doesn't really capture that. That's ok though, they've visited with me more cities and countries than some people will see in their lifetime.










Seeing how the sign was far away from a road with cars and that it says "horticulture", I do think it was intended for human parking.


That one squirrel stared at me so intensely for quite some time.

There were so many of them in Montreal! And other little rodents which are so cute, like chipmunks but I think chipmunks are a tad different. Rodents and I aren't that good at naming each other :D

I have no idea what the creature in your other post was!
