A sure sign of Spring is the arrival of the Mallard ducks in Westmount Park – this male was enjoying the puddles, created by the melting ice, on the surface of the park’s soccer field.

Enjoying some time outdoors during what passes as “Spring”. One must admit, Canadians are a “hardy lot”!
The park’s lagoon filled with “snow melt” – it seems that Spring might eventually arrive!
Spring has “finally sprung”! Easter Sunday was (or seemed to be) the warmest day, so far, of the year.
Westmount’s closed conservatory – referred to as “greenhouses” by the city’s residents. They were constructed in 1927 and had undergone a one-million dollar renovation ten years ago.
Recently, a pane of glass fell from the structure’s ceiling – narrowly missing a visitor.
Last week, the city used a drone (seriously!) as part of a much larger effort to assess the current structural damage and eventually restore this historic building.
Walking through the park this evening.
During the past couple of days yellow caution tape was blocking a portion of the park’s paths. This morning the city started to remove another mature (Lime) tree to ensure pedestrian safety. I couldn’t ascertain the tree’s age (the boughs were cut in a jagged fashion) – my guess is that it was nearly 100 years old.
A chilly evening’s walk through the park during a Sunday evening; however, we were rewarded with a beautiful sunset!
Westmount Park on a cold and blustery Saturday morning.
Enjoying longer days of daylight during our evening walk through the park.
