If I knock 20 years off my age, can I have Michael?? Beautiful pics, as usual. Casey, I swear I've been to your town. I'm thinking that it's the one where they duct taped kids to the lamp posts on the streets. I'll have to look at the pics I took.

Thanks, Linda! She was an artist (worked for Disney for a while) and a tennis player. She had just turned 38 when she died. I posted this picture on Flickr and was startled to find it had 24 views overnight. People must be interested in black & white photos.

Butchart Gardens is definitely a place to see. It's my second time to go there, and I loved it all over again. It is not large, we were there only 2 hours and saw most of it. A little longer would be nice--time to go more leisurely and eat lunch, and they have a great gift shop with very nice things (not junky stuff).
