Our winters are long here in Quebec but normally, by the end of April spring will let us exit from our burrows and enjoy the sunshine. This year was different. It rained, and rained, and rained. The trees were even grumbling.
But finally, at least a month late, spring has sprung. I was out walking and snapped a few photos of my favorite place, Riviere St.-Charles. I thought I’d share a few of those photos with you.
Along the river are apple trees in full flower as well as some ash trees. The yellow dandelions help round out the blaze of color.
If you’ve read Her Book of Shadows, my new mystery novel, this is the location in Parc Brebeuf where a rather intense scene takes place.
And I couldn’t resist quickly snapping this photo. The dog was happy to have his picture taken but the little girl was less thrilled so I apologize that it’s not a sharper image.
