Westmount’s Melville Avenue
Pumpkins growing in a garden on Melville Avenue. The seeds were, I presume, “left overs” from last year’s Halloween. In a few weeks, they should be a brilliant orange colour.
Westmount Park – Warm Summer Evening
Cooling off under the spray from the park’s fountain during a warm evening.
Westmount Park – Muggy August Evening
A very warm evening while walking our dog – such a relaxing place to read while enjoying the park.
Westmount Park – Words & Music
Poetry readings accompanied by music – a relaxing way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon under the shade offered by the park’s trees.
Westmount Conservatory
A walk through Westmount’s conservatory on a humid Sunday afternoon.

Westmount Park
Exercise class, in the park, on an early Sunday morning.
Westmount – Summer Street Festival
This year’s street festival organized by Westmount’s merchants during a humid Saturday afternoon.
