The beauty of Québec through the eyes of Gina

Bambi would like to thank you Gina for your beautiful pictures of nature taken yesterday in the area of Sainte-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau in the province of Québec.

You kindly said that you thought of your friend when you encountered a few deer : ). You also generously accepted that she shares your pictures with this blog’s readers. Bambi is grateful!

Well, this post will be brief. First, you can appreciate Gina’s pictures. Second, if you wish, you can listen to the L’Hymne à la Beauté du Monde [“The Anthem of the beauty of the world“], as intepreted by one of Bambi’s preferred French-Canadian singers, Ms. Luce Dufault. Written by Ms. Francesca Gagnon, this song is a tribute to the beauty of nature. It is a call to preserve the latter for the next generations. Below is an English translation, for your convenience.

To conclude this post, Bambi hopes you will enjoy it. Happy Rosh Hashana for those of you celebrating this event and Happy new week to everyone [yes, it is Monday again, in case you have not realized it yet :)]!

The Anthem to the Beauty of the World (https://lyricstranslate.com)

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Each flower, each tree that we kill

Returns to kill us on its turn

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Let’s not kill the singing of the birds

Let’s not kill the blue of the day

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

The last chance of the earth

It is now in the play

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Let’s make a big garden of the earth

For those coming after us

After us

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

The last chance of the earth

It is now in the play

Let’s not kill the beauty of the world

Let’s make a big garden of the earth

For those coming after us

After us“.

  1. These types of nature scenes always remind me of inspiring lines from British poet Gerard Manley Hopkins:

    What would the world be, once bereft
    Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
    O let them be left, wildness and wet;
    Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
