HOORAY! I finally got some amazing photos of Tierney in all her glory, thanks to my local friends! We spent a wonderful afternoon in the Arboretum on a warm day; not intolerable thanks to how light and maneuverable the costume is (PLUS I gave the EZCool neck cooling collar a go and it was wonderful)! I didn't include images of me with the kids, since I want to focus on only a small sampling of R's frankly beautiful photos, but we were a hit and frequently paused in posing to attend to the many admirers. :) I hope to post a link to more of the day's photos later! Thanks to R Riley McCourt, Mare and Wylie for posing with me and helping me out so much, and of course Clockwork Creature Studios, Qarrezel, Kifu, and Mat and Velvet for their amazing work on bringing Tierney to life!
