Melody in Linden, NJ - admiring nature

Melody's host took her on a nice nature walk on March 20th, to celebrate the first day of Spring!










Melody's human was especially glad to receive these beautiful pictures as, on the day that she received them, it was snowing and her street looked like this! Spring was definitely much more advanced in the USA!

Peko-chan and Supergirl go see the pont de la tour Eiffel and the ruisseau de la Brasserie - May 23rd, 2020

Image
On Saturday May 23rd, 2020, the host decided to take Peko-chan and Supergirl on another long walk. She thought that she may even be able to take them as far as downtown Ottawa by foot, but unfortunately her iPod's battery died on the way, so she could not take pictures... Still, Peko-chan and Supergirl got to see a neat tourist area of the old Hull. As for downtown Ottawa, the host told them that she would try to take them there later, especially since the bridges between Ottawa and Gatineau had just reopened. First, the host had to go get prescriptions as the drugstore: The building with a tower and a green roof that can be seen in the distance is the Parliament of Canada!: Various pictures taken on St. Joseph's boulevard, Hull's main commercial street: The bank that the host does business with: The St. Joseph's cathedral: An old municipal building: The old train station (the train doesn't run through Hull anymore), which had b...

Tiny in Bangkok, Thailand - Late October 2019

Image
Tiny was given a Thai name, Jidrid ("tiny" in Thai), by his host in Bangkok, who took him out for lunch and then to an antique and fair market and to a K-pop fair. He also had the opportunity to check out the Bangkok subway! Here's what his host (Medileen) sent me : Day 1 - October 25th 2019 "Finally, Tiny just arrived from Canada. It's a bit hard for him because of the weather here. I told him that it's autumn but he never knew kind of autumn in Thailand. It's about 95F. I took him for the first lunch in Thailand. It's called Pepper lunch. The raw meat with vegetables and rice are placed on the hot plates, that you can cook them with sauce and pepper before you eat it. The meat and its taste can be whatever depending on your preference. This is Tiny and I've got a thai name! The host called me 'Jidrid' it means Tiny in Thai." Day 2 - October 26th 2019 "This day is actually too hot to being outside, bu...

Ottawa in winter

Image
Of course, in Canada, there's also winter. Here's a few photos of what winter looks like here. This photo shows the side of St. Andrew's Presbytherian church (http://www.standrewsottawa.ca/who-we-are/the-building/). It is located downtown and is a beautiful church! I used to pass it on my way to work every single day. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of the Scots (a lot of settlers of Canada came from Scotland), so this church has a "Scottish" personnality and the Scotland flag floats above the church entrance. One can attend organ concerts for free there during the summer and the church also holds fantastic bazaars in the Spring and in the Fall. This photo shows the Supreme Court of Canada, on Wellington street, just in front of St. Andrew's church. The lawns in front of the Supreme Court are a very popular spot in summer : there is often a game of Ultimate Frisbee going on there! I like this aspect of the life, here: that the lawns of su...
