It's Friday!

Hi everyone!  I have chosen a soothing video for this post that I hope you will all enjoy!  It is gentle harp music with images of flowing water.  I really find it very relaxing and beautiful and hope you all will as well!  It is a short 3 minute video.

The photo I am sharing today is one that I took on my walk last Friday, April 19th.  It was a house that was almost finished being built.  You just need to click on the image to see a larger view.

  1. What a big house! I'd love to take a tour inside.

    I like that quote--a lot of wisdom there!

  2. Linda, thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment! I love the harp music and the house has so much detail. I can only imagine what it must look like on the inside-must be beautiful!

  3. A beautiful house, Linda. Reminds me of one I posted on Ocala a couple of weeks ago. Wonder what something like that would cost in Montreal?

  8. Do you know what, Linda? I'm not sure I like the idea of such houses. I know of many houses like this one, or bigger than this one, in places like Lorraine, Fontainebleau in Blainville, or Blainville-sur-le-lac where each house (mansion?) is a monstrosity costing between two and seven or eight million dollars. Extravagant. And in many cases, for two persons and a dog. I don't get it…

    Another point with this house and its rather strange style: the very idea of having a huge garage in FRONT of the house, instead of on the side. I may be wrong, but it doesn't smell of old money!

    Just my two cents worth. And that's not much with the cent fast disappearing from our pockets.

    But I like the photo Linda. As usual you're doing great work.

  10. I'd love to live in that house. Perhaps I should dream more and see how this kind of house would come to me =)

    I´m so happy that you visited in my paintingblog. It´s so amazing how we can surf around the world and see what happens there. My mothers stepbrother lives in Montreal and I´ve thought several times that I should to visit in your beautiful country. Hope it happens some day =)

    Have a lovely weekend =)
