Over Christmas break, I took a trip down to Montreal. That was my first time actually stopping in Montreal as I've driven through it on my way out East a number of times but have never actually stopped. I got a hotel in the Old Port part of town on Francois Xavier Street. The first Picture is of a square and surrounding buildings right near where I was staying. The second picture is from inside the Mary Queen of the World Cathedral looking from the entrance to the altar. The third picture is a statue on a square right near the Cathedral. The next picture is actually my favorite one that I took on the trip, it is overlooking the skyline of Montreal. The fifth picture was taken well walking around the city. The sixth and seventh pictures are of Notre-Dame and the former city hall.

Next week I will be going to the old town of Montreal so that will mean some new pictures for this blog which I'm excited about. Back to this posting, the first picture is a steam in a local conservation area well the second picture is a small tree growing in my front lawn.

Most of my large prize pack from Canadian Geographic came in the mail today. That included an upgraded camera from what it was supposed to be which was a Nikon AW Black with an 11-27.5mm lens to what is now is which is a Nikon D2700 with and 18-140mm lens. I used the new camera to take this photo of the Black Eyed Junco. I am still getting use to the new camera and am excited to find out all of the features it has but am also disappointed as my remote shutter and ND filter do not work on the Nikon.

I'm back from university and that means more updates on this blog as I will be taking more pictures and have more chances to as well. This is a picture of a morning dove in the maple tree in my backyard. I have a bird feeder set up so there should be more bird pictures up soon. 

Trent University stands on what use to be a railway which is why this bridge is here. The bridge would have been able to swing to let boats using the canal to pass by and would swing back to let a train cross the canal. This picture is a reflection on the water of the bridge just after sunset.
