China remarkable. The American elm


When we entered the grove of junipers close to China we were immediately amazed by the presence of these trees to the bark and old laciniate.

was like a little temple sacred in this haven of peace that is the Montreal Botanical Garden.


These natural sculptures we were transported back in time, at the time of the life of nomads who took shelter in such a place for some time before leaving and never coming back.


It is probably the only grove of junipers of China major in Quebec. Yes, it's something rare and beautiful. As for wine, tasting of moods that emerge trees grows over time, going to nature in silence, learning to become his friend (e).

Creation is broad and beautiful and that human beings have the ability to recreate the atmosphere that improves quality of life. This is not nothing like some say ...!

Island-St Helena or elm on Ile Sainte-Helene America! The White Ash


We had to cross what once was called the Valley of ORMES. No elm but plenty old hackberry, elm bastards over here and there, everywhere!

At the entrance of the valley known as a fox waiting for us. He stared at us, motionless, we scanned all of his senses subtle and refined as a guardian of the place.

In fact we were looking for anything in particular except that to taste the soul of St. Helena Island steeped in history and beauty.


live the present moment and our presence at this moment! It was the feast, again with blues in the firmament. While we did nothing and yet we feel fulfilled.

We have continued our hike until the silhouette clean elm draws our attention. Remarkable finesse! Yes, it was indeed the biggest elm tree that you can see on the island, at least to our knowledge.


A remnant from the days when the elm trees near inhabited the valley? A plantation?

This tree more or less centenary next to the restaurant Hélène de Champlain! It is there as it does not beings hiding fed out of the famous restaurant. It is here as it offers food that is his presence to lovers and lovers of rare and beautiful things. It is a dessert, starter, main meal ,..., up to you!

We are not returned through the valley. We took another way back. But was there ever really a return?

How Long Before A Pinguecula Goes Away

more than a century Normandy Street


Visit Longueuil old cousin in the company of Jean-Luc Gagne (which can be seen leaning on the tree) yesterday.

Last summer Jean-Luc went joyriding in the area of Lake Huron, site of the historic mission of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. He walked the footsteps of the first Europeans to have explored this region of the continent.

It's a bit that way as we surveyed the scene yesterday. Remains of old fort, old stream, old stone houses in the fields, meeting with Mr. Chambaron, president of the Historical Society of Longueuil, etc.. What adventure!

We surveyed the surroundings and the presence of the hidden river. I could not help but be seduced by trees. The first that caught my attention was this white ash in the trunk of a good size before the historic home of Louis Edward Morin, then mayor, built in 1874.

Now knowing this we have a good idea of the age of the tree that was probably planted soon after the construction of the residence. He may be over 130 years?

Large lakes in Longueuil there is this old historical continuity provided by the River. Old trees are over to them a rich look to the past of a place.

Next summer, Jean-Luc has come down along the Mississippi still on the trail of the pioneers. Our visit yesterday is part of this exploration of our roots where we leave talking stones, trees, old houses, ... Valley St Lawrence, the major premise to travel within the continent!

130 years ago when our white ash just beginning to advance towards the sky industrialization was in full swing and the confederation was still young. A cross between Montreal and Longueuil. The river was there that was offered to all and then put it aside. Our Ash has seen it all, he has grown ... maybe to continue to admire!
