City walls

image             image This mural seen yesterday close to the the Biblioteque National.  I like how it depicts native women but with a rather modern treatment.  I like how a young tree is growing up in front of the girl and I like that there is an inscription in what I think must be Mohawk.  There is a French version on the other side, but I leave it to your imagination!  Already the end of April and nature is having a hard time showing off as we are still experiencing very low temperatures and cloudy days.  It will come, I suppose and be all the more welcome for having made us wait.  In the meantime, lots of beauty on the walls around us.  Only open our eyes to see!
