The Stone Labyrinth I made in Ambleside Park in West Vancouver is STILL There !
Grateful and Appreciative of the people living on the North Shore for keeping it intact!
Will do a Maintenance Visit as soon as I can . . .

The Ambleside Park Labyrinth I made with stones is still there,
In Ambleside Park, West Vancouver.
I first painted a a green and yellow Labyrinth on this pavelock brick circle beside the Basketball courts in Christie Pits Park on Thursday June 8 2006.
I’ve repainted it at least once.
Grass has overtaken it.
I don’t know that I will paint it again.
Maybe it’s okay as it is,
A Fading Green and Yellow Ghost Labyrinth . . .
Late afternoon Winter Sun casting shadows on rocks and paths outlining Vancouver Public Labyrinth . . .
Current view from Cambie Bridge of what remains of my Spyglass Place Labyrinth.
Even with the stones scattered, still a recognizable green grass Labyrinth path.
It’s been on my To ReBuild List, which I haven’t got around to yet.
Growing up so fast . . .
Both the puppy and the grass growing around the stones of Vancouver Public Labyrinth!
So that’s it for my Spyglass Place Labyrinth.
The grass reveals a ghost outline of my former quintile, seven lane Labyrinth.
I had built this Labyrinth by placing stones I took from underneath the Cambie Bridge.
The middle of the Labyrinth, I chose it because there was a large flat stone embedded in the ground, and once you would arrive at the centre, you could stand on it.
Some time after I had made this, I came back with oil based paint sticks, and outlined a red heart on that flat stone.
That meant after you walked the Spyglass Place Labyrinth and arrived at the Centre, you would find a heart there.
So, if my Labyrinth was to disappear through entropy, the way for it to go, would be as a giant heart.
Seen from the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver, just north of Olympic Village Station.
Dear Vancouver!
On Friday Evening, November 2 2018 between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., we’re having a Pumpkin Parade !
What is that exactly?
We bring our Carved Pumpkins from our doorsteps, window sills, and front yards to a neighbourhood gathering spot, McLean Park, at the corner of Heatley and Keefer in the Strathcona Neighbourhood.
We then enjoy the artwork of our neighbourhood!
Hopefully there will be enough pumpkins to create an outline of a Giant Jack O’Lantern which we can all enjoy together!
Please spread the word and see you then!
Still Wondering and need more?

Mixed feelings about this turn of events . . .
Last week my Spyglass Place Labyrinth, which I first made back in April using nearby stones, had all its stones removed and put into a number of piles.
Aw well.
I intended to return and rebuild the Labyrinth when I had a good chunk of time to do so.
And now, in recent days, someone used some of the stones to outline a giant heart, with what looks like giant letters or initials inside the heart.
The grass outline of the Labyrinth remains as does the well worn path in-between those outlines.
My Spyglass Place Labyrinth was well walked.
It lasted from April until Early October.
I really really really really really need to make a maintenance visit to my Spyglass Place LabyrinthSpyglass Place Labyrinth . . .
Looking very closely, one might spot a number of stones out-of-place . . .
. . . Time for another maintenance visit to the Vancouver Public Labyrinth.
The dried grass, with its hair thin whispers of blades gently strangling the stone arcss of the Labyrinth, almost makes this seem ancient, like its always been there, betraying its age.
It’s barely fourth months old.
I began building this late March and finished it in April…
For all the rain that Vancouver gets at other times of the year, nowadays with all the dry grass around, “Suncouver” is more like it.
