THE BUTTEFLY GARDENS

SIDNEY,  BC,  CANADA

Hey buddy,   Point that Nikon at me just once more and I'll have your hand off!   What part of,    'I am not especially an early morning person',    are you having a hard time grasping?

Look,    I had a heck of a night,  chilling out with the boys and admiring the ladeez as they strutted their stuff over the bridge.   I had a lot to drink,  and stayed awake way into the early hours, so now I'm a little tired and read for a nice long nap.   Peter and Percival,  the African flamingoes,  staged one of their well renowned gambling nights and needless to say,  I escaped bereft of my food scrap stakes and lucky to keep the feathers on my back!

I had planned for a quiet morning,  and forgot that the weekend is over, as the lights went on,  doors flew open and the unwashed public started milling in and pointing cameras in my face.  I'm a sensitive guy you know,  I have feelings,  and I like my privacy respected at all times.

That's a subtle hint by the way.  And if you don't stop clicking the shutter on that damn thing and go away,  I'll leave a somewhat less than subtle message all over your flouncy Burgundy shirt

Capiche?
