Morning Moment
6:23 a.m. Fernwood Pier
Best moment of the day—which soon became mainly cloudy with a few showers. It was actually a double moment as the western view behind was a sky of soft pastels (and a few bobbing Buffleheads).

GISPA Vintage Suitcases
GISPA Vintage Suitcases
An odd thing to see in a high school classroom.
GISPA is clearly getting ready for their 2014 show, May 14 to 15 at ArtSpring. But what’s going on with the vintage suitcases?
All will be revealed in time, stay tuned.
GISPA is the Gulf Islands School of Performing Arts. It’s a school within Gulf Islands Secondary on Salt Spring Island. This unique school combines advanced technical and artistic training and collective creation.
Students of GISPA are given a unique opportunity. Together, we work on creating an original collective project between all three of our strands: Acting, Music and Dance. This means that our students work together, creating original music, choreography and scene-work geared towards a final year-end production. Collective creation aims to blend all of our strengths into a sleek, powerful performance through which our innovation and skill can shine.
It’s my pleasure to not only work around these talented and energetic young people but to support them as my business cause.
Roadside Trillium
A White Trillium
First one I’ve seen in our neighbourhood this year. It is just a few steps off the road in a shady spot. The low dusk light after a brief shower was helped a bit by a small LED flashlight.
Hopefully it will flourish and turn pink as it ages and thus be ready for a second portrait.
