before ruin befell Lord Stanley's Park..

To get my new blog off and rolling in the right direction, theres nothing better than a bit of cuteness.. If you've ever wondered what cuddly object animals sleep with, its not stuffed humans, its empty water bottles




She came running down the steps at prospect point only to hop up on the wall and just take it all in..
I envy those people who can do this.. atleast on a regular basis..
In the past month the park has been bombarded with storms, and lies in ruins.. unfortunatly..


Tiger Girl loves posing.. and was all too happy to be a model for the day.. such a devious smile..


Along for the ride was also Josh a hell raiser, also sporting a fancy cloak.. shown here rescuing his love (*note not really) from the well.. Just a fun little prop with two superb models..


I don't know why these hardcore punks would think we were throwing down rocks at them.. just cause we were standing above them.. we weren't.


Collecting berries for some sort of potion, or something, Josh's appreciation for nature is captured here.. Just a spontaneous grab.. i like it..



Down on the beach, we decided on a quick dip.. well the guys did, the girls for the time being decided to stay dry.. Until josh decided it would
be a GREAT idea to throw Tiger Girl in, and he did indeed succede.. She looked pissed, but not for long.. it was all in good fun..



It was suggested that i throw Scottish Rose in too, seeing as she was dressed for it, but i couldn't do it.. Even tho it would only be a joke, it was cold, and i knew she wouldn't want to take the plunge.. plus, she is FAR too beautiful to do that to.


I could post tons of pictures of her, and still not get tired of them, but ill leave it for now..
These touring youngsters arent used to non credit card operated viewfinders, and had trouble finding out how to work it.. but they eventually did, and it was adorable..


Don't let anyone tell you that Canadian raccoons are nicer than american raccoons, they arent! and josh found that out the hard way.. " That dem thar raccoon bit ma pointin finger! " (*note* josh is not, and has never been, a redneck.. infact, hes Canadian..


Finally, a mostly untouched shot of Ryan shooting Tiger Girl again, quite backlit, and the glow is real.. The sky, i darkened seperatly.. but seeing as you can do that in a darkroom, i figure its not cheating..



Thanks for reading and sharing the pics.. Lately there have been a few BIG storms ravaging the area, and many many trees, and paths have been blown away, or washed out..

so it may never be the same again :( .. which is awful, cause i loved it there..

Cheers from stormy Vancouver
