Elizabeth wanted to see the graveyard across the street. It's the big old one, where Goth girls in corsets take self portraits for Myspace. This gravestone caught my eye. The canal disaster was big news for a few weeks when it happened - 70 people died when the bridge collapsed.

That last picture doesn't actually show up in your LJ, only when in comments view.

Odd... seems okay on my end, no matter how I view it.

Canal disaster was on my birthday. Weird.

Great pix! What a lovely fall day. I just adore Claire's jacket--she looks like a little doll. ;-)

I believe it's also the cholera graveyard, where victims of the 1854 cholera epidemic were interred. Probably not still contagious, just don't dig down too far.

I must commend you on your early fashion training for the girls - "Animal Print is only for accents and fur-suits, otherwise it just looks cheap and silly."

Also the coats are very cute, as are the girls. I was reminded of some of the Lawton Doll Company dolls.

The cannons weren't cute though.

You should have seen them dancing in church. Very very cute and funny. Elizabeth was hamming it up, in particular.

Great pictures!

Re Dundurn Castle and the War of 1812, I always get a kick out of seeing our town of Dundas (despite being amalgamated into Hamilton, we still live in Dundas, not Hamilton) depicted as an important site in the Columbia Games wargame "1812".

Some fine photographs, good man, and as pointed out, the girls look charming.
