This was my second visit to the wonderful city of Montreal. One of my favorite stops is the The Chinese Garden, which is only part of the Public Gardens. The Public Gardens is a good duo stop with the Olympic Park.

Pagoda and Bridge

The Chinese Garden full of lots to explore: pagodas, ponds, and flowers. There are Chinese themed gifts shops. Don’t be surprised if there’s a live performance on traditional instruments.

This Blue Heron took center stage among the lily pads. I think he caught and ate one of the koi.

This blue heron was not shy.

The heron played the role of crane in this shot.
