Olivia Treynor, July '04

Posing by the roses for my adoring fans...

... and taking a more reserved stance in front of the kite display at Shoreline park ...

... of course, my brother just had to get in on the action ...

... which is OK as long as he doesn't get in my way when there are eggs involved ...

... or sports equipment ...

... otherwise, I will have to dispatch him with one of these clever brightly-colored net launchers.

Boys DO have their uses, however. For instance, once properly trained they can provide a great platform on which to bask in the sun.
