  • Bridging the Gap

    by Alexandra

    Two bridges for the price of one. I was up at the top of the Montmorency Falls taking this shot, last summer, looking down and out across part of the St Lawrence river to the only bridge that connects to the ile d’Orleans with the rest of the world. It is, in effect, the island’s Golden Gate bridge eh, only this one is green.

My Local Neighbourhood

by Alexandra

I think I have been for more local neighbourhood walks these last few weeks than I have been outside all year. What with the awful weather we’ve had seemingly none stop  for months now. I think I’ve taken advantage of every single minute of beautiful sunshine we’ve had, in between. And with good reason. After a miserable start to Thursday the afternoon turned out...

A Face Lift

by Alexandra

Well, maybe not a “face’ but definitely a lift in every sense of the word. As seen in my local neighbourhood, an elevated set of homes having their foundations fixed.

About

Hi, I’m Alexandra, I live in Quebec City, Canada and love to read genre fiction, take photos of flowers, write about where I live, and make a mess in the kitchen.

Sometimes, I even have something interesting to say.
