On 5th October 2021, while I was minding my own business in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens, I came across a young woman in a wedding dress and more interestingly, she had herself surrounded by pigeons which gained the attention of everyone that passed. It then turned out that she was a professional model, and came all the way from Shetland (but was originally from either the US or Canada by her accent). Here are some photos of her, even with these birds.

And this is where she specifically posed for me (and yes, she voluntarily took her glasses off for the shot)

Since my encounter with her, there was an idea of her being my "personal model" but this never happened, as she abruptly quit modelling (as she became too busy with work) and that he subsequently lost contact. And by the way, the wedding dress was part of her gimmick :P

I'll miss her, but these photos of that day will help me remember her :)
 
She seems like a fun person to spend time with. Love the pigeons!
