The Magic Of Lanterns - Montreal Botanical Gardens

I recently visited the Botanical Gardens and stayed at night to see the show entitled "The Magic Of Lanterns".  It was very beautiful and I hope these pictures do it justice.

An added bonus was the full moon which, positioned beside the Olympic Stadium tower, added to the magic.  I was trying to get the reflections of the tower, moon and lanterns in the still waters when a duck very noisily landed with a loud splash and sent the water rippling in all directions.  Talk about a grand entrance for an audience!

  2. Thanks to you both for your comments. It really was a nice time and prior to the lantern show, I saw many beautiful flowers and critters (dragonflies and such). If you care to see them you can check out http://doris-potter.artistwebsites.com/index.html

  4. Very pretty Doris. BTW, in your profile photo, is that your dog? He/she is very cute. What kind, what name? I miss my dogs a lot---one of the downnsides of divorce.

  5. Hi Didee - yes it WAS a grand time!
    Hi Steve: the dog actually belongs to a family running an Inn where I stayed last fall with my sister. His name is Lucky and he is a sweetheart! Not sure of his heritage but I would say German Shepherd is in there for sure. Sorry about your dogs - it must be very hard for you.
