A Splendid Melancoly
Nos. 8194 to 8231 - 01 Sept 2011 - 15:41:22 to 15:46:47
Displays of gladioli and dahlias signify summer's last blast of colour and variety in the garden. These flowers grace the Love farmhouse at Burnaby Village Museum
which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
Alongside heritage buildings and gardens are the BC Electric Railway exhibit and the CW Parker Carousel both of which are a century old.
These former glories of technology are highly evolved and therefore beautiful and rare.

Succulents
No. 4156 (detail) - 18 Jun 2011 - 17:15:42I live in a rain forest and seldom complain about the weather. I have often mused (this time of year) that, if it is still raining by July, I too may become grumpy but after a spring spent on the prairie flood-plain I am keeping my perspective. I returned to Vancouver in the thrall of a cool and wet early summer and with the natives none too pleased about it and yet the gardens were and are full of flowers and flowering things.
No complaints here.

ParkOvergrowingFourHouses
No. 3644 - 07 Jun 2011 - 20:36:28This park and the four houses on its eastern side were the first subjects of an iPhoto Bookmark project begun five years ago. ParkOnFourHouses is due a retrospective look and perhaps indicates a return to an early interest in the small architecture of Vancouver's historic east side.
