Lac du Castor, Montreal

As my 'staycation' vacation week wraps up, I feel somewhat less stressed out. Now I am ready to spend my whole summer at home too. Just hope we can travel a bit, would be nice to escape to nature for awhile. We talked about going up to our friends lac du Coeur cottage if its possible, say, to rent it out. I also want to visit the Ontario town of Madawaska and Algonquin park if permissible. For now laying low is the best advice.

I made it up to Lac du Castor (Beaver Lake) on the top of Mont Royale, there were very few people there and it was very hot. I found some shade and painted this concrete structure which I believe is a children's wading pool when they fill it, and in the background there is the turquoise lake, more of a constructed pond than a lake. As usual, there were some fresh dandelions growing in the grass. Cilei liked this one so I put it in a frame and hung it in the living room.
