Sure, you might expect to spot hammocks all over people's outdoor spaces in a warmer climate. But Montreal gets only a few gorgeous warm-weather months. That doesn't stop Montrealers, though: the city springs to life with gusto after the long, cold winter.

We spotted this hammock in someone's front yard as soon as the weather turned nice in the spring. It's right by the sidewalk and we can imagine the owner relaxing there after yard work, chatting with neighbors as they pass by on sunny summer weekends.
