There were so many ornamental garden plants that I could have stayed all day. There were some really neat structures holding the climbers. Also there were a lot of differing dahlias,- planted in mass which had a really nice effect.
The second last and third last picture were taken from the same spot. I have an AMAZING lens on my Panasonic DMC – FZ18 camera, with an 18 times zoom lens and the lens is really clear by Leica. I am very happy with it. In the 3rd last shot, you will see a fountain in the distance. Zoom in, and this is what I get. Neat, eh?
Gosh, I’m starting to sound like a Canadian, eh?

Believe it or not, only 4 hours. We had to find a place that served Montreal Smoked Meat. .... when in Rome, do as the Romans do … or in this case Montreal.
