On our way to Jack and Margery's for a birthday party. It's a blury photo but it'll have to do. Taken with Ros' new camera.

...But some people do...

Russell's mother Ros wasn't quite sure what to make of the project. I liked it. I think my son is quite talented, though I'm not sure how the world is going to learn how to appreciate his talent.

And here's the small wheel with the large blanket. There were a few toy cars on the blanket which these kids (one a very old kid) decided to play with, which Russell approved of. He asked me to take the picture.

Here's his big bicycle wheel with the small "freeway" blanket.

This described his art installations. He had two wooden bicycle wheels and two blankets.

On Saturday (May 5) we visited the Students' Art Show at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. Russell is finishing up at ECIAD, and this was his graduation art exhibit. Here he's posting (in the purple hat) with wife Jane.

She was too fast for us to catch up and take a picture at the finish but we found her in BC Place stadium. What an accomplishment! 42 km in about 4:10. Congratulations, daughter!

She was still quite fresh - doing better than she expected.

We next caught up with her on the Burrard Street bridge.

The off she went, with her brother's good wishes.

We intercepted her near Kits beach after she had run about 23 of the 26 miles of the event. She was very pleased to see us and asked us to take her jacket.

Naomi ran in the Vancouver marathon Sunday. Jane, Russell, Nick and I cycled to see her and cheer her on.

Flowers on the back porch purchased at the garden shop await planting. It is spring...

I love the long shadows on the grass of spring and summer. The tree is in front of our house.

What lovely blue colours in the flower in front of our sign.

The steps leading up to our house... flowers out here already too.

On Sunday, Rosalind ran in the Sun run. Here she is, tired but happy, back home. She came in 36,048 out of about 54,000. Way to go!

Then we went inside City Hall for a reception and chatting with the military.

And the mayor stopped and chatted with the veterans, including Grandpa.
