It was a very cold miserable day

When I walked in the Montreal Botanical Garden display greenhouse, to find some respite and peace of mind, the newly installed bench (above) using the curved top design caught my eye and, soon enough, suggested my sitting … and photographing it in the welcome greenery and silence.

It is a cold, sunny, bright day

When I tuned in the “sound of silence” tube and was saluted by my friendly snow-covered tree branches, I could not resist photographing and sharing both.

the tree salute

So, enjoy both now
