Travel Photography: Montreal, Quebec

Ok. I admit it. I loved Montreal.

Montrealers are known for their pride of their hometown. I think they deserve to be. Montreal is a great city and their ability to hold on to two cultures and languages for generations is something I greatly admire and even envy. Coming from NYC, I respect and understand cultural, hometown pride and Montrealers have much to be proud about, including all the awesome they have to offer those who visit. They are friendly and happy to share their city with you – to show it off, if you will – and I was more than happy to take it all in.

Montreal rocks and I can’t wait to go back and think you should visit as well.

In the meantime, here are some photos from my trip.

    LOVE Montreal. It is a place our family vacations at least once per year. I was there in November and every time I go, I love the city more. It is such a diverse and exciting city, one that anyone and any family can really enjoy. I really liked your photos they portrayed the beauty of the city. familyfoodtravel.blogspot.ca

It’s been incredible being upstate during this t It’s been incredible being upstate during this time. We’ve been able to take in all the seasonal changes around @theflxcottage. So grateful for my happy place. So grateful for happy anything and everything. . . . #nylovesfall #myflx #fingerlakes #countryliving #farmhouse #vineyardhouse #fall
Spent most of the day driving around this gorgeous Spent most of the day driving around this gorgeous region. It never ceases to take my breath away. The rolling hills, the wide open plains, the slowly changing leaves, the lakes, the farms...it’s all so beautiful. . . . #fingerlakes #myflx #roadtrip #countryliving #farmlife #upstateny #iloveny
The grapes surrounding @theflxcottage have been ha The grapes surrounding @theflxcottage have been harvested and with them goes the sweet aroma they exuded. Even while it feels like so much of life is on pause, life in fact continues. One thing that’s for sure is that things are changing. I have felt this professionally and personally, and because change has always excited me I am so open to what it brings and all the adjustments I need to make to strive through it. There are things I miss with change, like the sweet scent of grapes in my garden but then there are things I look forward to - like the changing leaves, and snow in my curly hair. The only time you are guaranteed failure and misery is when you reject change and fail to see the opportunity in it to be better, do better. As an agency owner, I see daily those who are eager to get back to how things were with same old strategies, expectations, and practices. I can tell you right now, if that’s you, you are already failing because the best of us are doing things differently and looking for different things. As influencers and creatives, that should be our goal. To change. The grapes that got picked from these vines will transform into delicious jams or beautiful wine. They will create memories and some will inspire travel. The grapes that got left behind will get eaten by birds or rot. So I guess we all have to decide what kind of grapes we want to be. The ones we miss but have moved on to bigger better things, or the grapes that never got to be more than bird and worm food. . . . #creatives #lifeduringcovid #creativelifehappylife #entrepreneur #myflx #fingerlakes
There’s something so rewarding about growing you There’s something so rewarding about growing your own food. I started learning how to tend to a garden when I installed a small greenhouse in NJ - RIP to all the plants that perished while I grew in this process. Then, when we got the FLX cottage and there were things already in place - like this pear tree - that forced me onto a quicker learning journey I wasn’t sure I was ready for and I quickly had to learn about care. For example, our apple trees won’t produce great fruit this year because the trees need trimming and that can’t happen till the winter. Our pears only grow every other year, generously like this, because that’s just the characteristic of the fruit. And I have relied heavily on guidance from friends like @jenniferperillo for tips on how to protect my berries and tomatoes from birds and deer! But the point is, I am learning and in the process reconnecting to my heritage and the farming culture of my grandparents and beyond. Sometimes it’s a win, other times it’s a “need to try again”. So maybe it’s just a small herb garden on your kitchen counter, or maybe it’s a more vast vegetable landscape - the point is, we can do this. And it’s so beautiful when we learn how. 🌱 So, give it a go, and grow something! . . . #homegrown #blackgirlsfarming #homegarden #countryliving #theflxcottage #peartree #myflx
6:30AM wake up to take in the sunrise and a 3 mile 6:30AM wake up to take in the sunrise and a 3 mile walk before starting the day. By the time we got back life was already buzzing around the farms and the kids were making themselves breakfast before school. I wish life could always be this zen. Sending a bit of it to those of you who might be needing it right now. . . . #countryliving #vineyardhouse #fingerlakes #myflx #sunrise #winecountry
For years, we’ve walked different miles of the @ For years, we’ve walked different miles of the @KeukaOutletTrail. Yesterday we hiked to the end of the trail in the town of Dresden, NY. But the trail ended before we reached the actual outlet. The outlet picks up off Keuka Lake, near our house, and only today did I see where it connects to Seneca Lake. It was dark, so video isn’t stellar, but so dang awesome. I love discovering all these cool corners of the Finger Lakes region and am kind of a geek about it, but it’s always so beautiful. The trail is 7 miles long, and then you walk another mile through the neighborhood streets of Dresden to get to the outlet at Seneca Lake. Worth it. Oh, and as a reward, there’s a road side ice cream stand, Mr. Twistees, right near the trail’s end. . . . #Myflx #hikers #outlettrail #senecalake #outdoors #naturelover #fingerlakes #upstateny
