I'm standing behind my cousin Henry's Vauxhall Viva, c1965, at 31-33 Birgitta Cres. I lived at 33 Birgitta (the farther half of this semi-detached dwelling) from autumn 1961 to the summer of 1969, when we moved to Barrie.
My aunt/uncle/cousin lived next door at 31 Birgitta, where I am standing.
That's my grandfather's 1954 Ford in the lower left foreground. The occasion of the photo is apparently a family get-together that I have long forgotten.

Doing what I most love to do ... photographing or filming steam trains. This occasion was a steam special from North Vancouver to Kelly Lake BC.

HRH Robbie III (Roberta), Duchess of Sutherland, Ruler of Robbieland, Most Adorable Dog Ever.
Taken when she was nine, she's now 12 (September 2014) and still as bouncy and enthusiastic as ever. She's a cairanian -- part Cairn terrier and part Pomeranian.
As Robbie herself would tell you, she belongs to Marilyn but I belong to her.

... with Robbie III (Roberta), the Most Adorable Dog Ever.
Robbie was rescued from the Richmond Pound when she was three. (That's more than can be said for me.) Robbie was Marilyn's mother's companion for several years until Marilyn could no longer provide home care for her mum. When the mum had to enter a care home, Robbie stayed behind to brighten the lives of all who encounter her.

Say bye-bye. Robbie and I say good-bye to my mother as her visit to North Vancouver ends in June 2013.

Cody, the Nova Scotia duck-tolling retriever (a.k.a. "toller") is a beautiful dog with an unbalanced personality. He's ADHD, occasionally snaps and seriously bites people (Marilyn or me -- we don't let him near anyone else) and is, in general, a high-maintenance dog. Although he craves attention and affection, he knows neither how to give it or receive it. Sad, really.
However, when outside and getting the attention he requires, he is an amazing swimmer and catcher of objects. He is the most fixated of retrievers -- would keep diving into the water and swimming after a ball until he wore out and drowned. Because tollers were bred for endurance, he usually wears me out before I him, but I keep a close watch on him around the water.
Taken the same day as the Marilyn-Robbie photo, summer 2014, this shows more of the lower Lynn Creek dog park. This was a rare day at the park -- Cody was the only dog swimming.
