shades and shadows

Fall is here and the colors are softly and slowly sneaking into the trees of our city. It's such a beautiful feeling to be surrounded by these different shades of yellow, orange and red.

I have been given the gift of time. It's a difficult but oh so wonderful gift to consume. I decided to take some time off work and return to the school bench. To wake up in the morning knowing you have nothing but pages of a book to read is a bit scary when you're a person who is raised to work hard to make a living. My steps could be light and joyful but unfortunately I have a shadow of bad conscious following me around.

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous in both September and October. Sunny and warm.

Montreal is such a bohemian beauty. I love this city and the feeling I get when walking down its streets. Especially in the area of Plateau Mont Royal.

  

It's not clean, nor clear, not classic. It's not fancy, not luxurious, not glamorous. 

It's cozy, cute and clever in it's own way. It's bohemian, warm and welcoming. It's artsy, funky and funny. It's really easy to feel at home here. Love love love you Montreal, especially this time a year when you dress up to impress in your colorful gowns and detailed accessories. You're a unique beauty.

 I'm happy to embrace another Fall in your arms, let you whisper your secrets in my ears 

and chase away any dark shadows that might disturb us.
