I went down to Stanley Park expecting a wildflower walk, but as it turns out, the walk was in the wildlife sanctuary (where I was yesterday). The reason I know this is because there were other people there who were also in the wrong place. Since the forest garden was what I wanted to see anyway, I didn't make the trek over to the sanctuary, but stayed where I was and snapped a bunch of photos.

After about twenty minutes, it started to rain. Just a little, and I was in the woods, so I wandered around some more and took more pictures.

As I was leaving the park, it started to rain more steadily (not quite cats & dogs; more like kittens). It got steadily heavier as I walked, and by the time I got home I was quite damp. A change of clothes and some hot cocoa took care of that, and I settled in to process & upload my pix.

Well. My @#$%& software was fighting with me again, and Flickr wasn't liking me very much, so I resorted to booting up my old computer and trying from there. I managed to get six of my pix uploaded; the rest I will have to do from work tomorrow.

I'd forgotten how clunky OS9 is, and how much I hate Internet Explorer for the Mac.

I so need a new computer!

Why does everything have to be so hard?

*sigh*

Ah well, at least I got this lovely photo to share with y'all. Enjoy!

heh. it took me a year of having a mac before i even *noticed* i had a copy of Internet Explorer. Needless to say I didn't use it much ... :p

i don't know if i've said it before, but i *love* your icon, the butterfly. it's so pretty!

i don't know about you, but i actually quite like walking in the rain. Not really heavy torrential rain of course (tho usually what happens there is that i get so soaked after a minute of being in it that i don't really care how much wetter i get, so i tend to walk slowly through it), but light drizzle to reasonably wet rain i quite like.
The one type of rain i don't like is humid misty rain, as that tends to get inside my clothes and make me feel really uncomfortable.

My favoutite smell is that of trees (especially pine forests) in those clear moments after a rainstorm, when the air is fresh and new.

Thank you! It's actually a photo I took at a local butterfly sanctuary. It's one of my all-time favorites.

I don't mind walking in the rain either, if it's light and not too cold. Which it was, both. :)

My photos finally got downloaded on the Mac but Flickr is being a PITA!

Technology just doesn't like me much today. :P

Maybe it's general "technology no-cooperation day" - I just burned 4 DVDs of video from my show last night, and NONE of them will play properly in a DVD player :( And it's a brand-new Mac... googling seems to indicate the Superdrives easily overheat, causing errors - grrrh...

...and it's a whole week before Mercury goes retrograde! Sheesh.
