Round the Point, Again

We are personally adding to all the weekend festivities (well, I extended the weekend yet another day...now it's Thursday to Tuesday) by having Ed go up in the helicopter today with a pair of photographers (one at a time) to photograph the Point Roberts coastline from a 300 foot elevation and 600 foot elevation (i.e., that was how high the helicopter was flying when the photographers were shooting).  The point of this Point documentation is to see if there have been noticeable changes.  But one can also look at the pictures and see who's out on the beach and in their yard from about 1-2 p.m. on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010.

I had both hoped and expected to be able to see Lily the Llama and her companion goats, but though her corral is clearly visible, she was not outside at just that moment.  I spoke to one of her owners who reported that she was having her hair trimmed today, so I guess we caught her at a bad moment; or failed to catch her at a bad moment. 

It will take a while for Ed to process these photos and get them synced up and posted on our website, but I'll put a link on the blog as soon as it happens.  He's been planning this second round of pictures for about a year, so it's a treat to have it actually happen.
