"Red Hair" Trip to White Rock (2007)

Back in the day (before I had taken my first 24 hr voyage to South East Asia) my cousin decided to dye her hair

 In 2007, Marie, Grandma Elaine and I went down to the beach in White Rock and toured around before getting on the plane for our first trip to Indonesia.
 We saw a blue heron keeping cool in the June weather
 Grandma's beautiful smile
 Two gorgeous red heads  
 Super-model wind tussling your hair 
 Reflections, skyline, profile- classic
 Hottie with a 'tude
 Gotta get myself in there too!
 Sand textures
 Rock textures, foreground out-of-focus
 Gucci Ad?
 Background focus
 Smiles in the sun
 My Cuz'
 Fun decorations
 Beautiful arrangement in the sun
White Rock staple- Joe's is a must visit (of all of Grandma's boyfriend's;)

Lynn Valley Exploration

 The day was bright and Spring-crisp

Infinity of the forest abounds like the spinning galaxies 

Braided wire of life connecting one side to the other 

Missed timer-shot that got the focus on the bridge, nice textures!
