Makes me wish I was there, I'm sure the photos don't do it justice.

I miss trees.  Montréal is full of wood, but nothing you could describe as a tree yet.  Maybe in a month, when I'm gone . . .

Out of curiosity, SE, did you get the names of the interesting people you photographed? The first couple look exactly like my friend Jacob (Jake) and his now-wife Sarah.

Cherry blossom time can also be tragic... at least 3 people a year die by falling into the tidal basin.

Those are awesome, awesome pictures.  

Just FYI, the first link isn't working for me.  I just get a red X.  The rest are fine though.

ok, I'll go in and see what's up with that. It had problems yesterday and was removed. Gr....

Anyway, brenna, I didn't get names. I just told people who posed that I was doing a photo essay. However, they took down the address so they could see the picture, and they may stop by. Maybe they can tell us.

Ezra wasn't really all that good to start with. It's not hard to be better than him.

This was awesome. So much so that I'm almost compelled to do a Photo Essay of Buffalo.
