Here are some images taken at night, mostly in our backyard in Montreal…

Jardin de Claire, la nuit

Jardin de Claire, la nuit

A prune tree stands in the middle of the garden and the squirrels seem to enjoy it very much.

These little hooligans have the habit of taking just a tiny bite of every fruit and they then drop it on the ground. It’s actually quite nice to look at, scattered though the leaves and the rocks, especially at dusk when the colors seem to be taken out of a Rembrandt painting.

Can you guess what that strange looking creature is?

Orignal/extra-terrestre à Sutton

I had to play around with the levels and contrast of the image since it was almost pitch black. As a result, the creature looks like an alien.

This young moose was photographed in the middle of the driveway, in the Eastern Townships (Quebec). My boyfriend took the photo and then sat in the middle of the path, waiting. This is usually not a very good idea since mothers are very protective of their youngs but there was no sign of her. The calf passed just beside him and then entered the forest.

The other creature in the picture is my father in law.
