Another spectacular display of clouds this evening – who needs “Photoshop”!

Beautiful clouds following an early Friday evening thunderstorm.

Summer is not quite over yet! These pink roses are still blooming in a garden on Belvedere Place.

From Wikipedia:

“Chrysanthemums entered American horticulture in 1798 when Colonel John Stevens imported a cultivated variety known as ‘Dark Purple’ from England. The introduction was part of an effort to grow attractions within Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The chrysanthemum was recognized as the official flower of the city of Chicago by Mayor Richard J. Daley in 1966.

The chrysanthemums is the official flower of the city of Salinas, California.

The Chrysanthemum Throne is the name given to the position of Japanese Emperor.

In Imperial Japan, small arms were required to be stamped with the Imperial Chrysanthemum, as they were considered the personal property of the Emperor.

Tutankhamen was buried with floral collars of chrysanthemums.”

Many Westmount residents are currently in a flutter over the recently published rumours that the lagoon’s ducks have migrated “down south”.

Luckily, I spotted these “stragglers”, in the lagoon, enjoying the rain.

I suspect the Mallard family is waiting for a new delivery of additional U.S. Customs and Border Protection forms.

(Isn’t it great to live a city that “deals at this level”?)
