Looking from Salt Spring Island into Active Pass with low cloud and some fog beyond in Georgia Strait. Galiano Island is the big hill on the left with Mayne Island centre. Super sky with one rogue cloud. Worth getting up for!

A sign appeared on Moby’s front door Thursday saying it had closed until further notice. Why, or for how long, has yet to be answered. It joins three other recently closed Ganges restaurants.

This is Gerda Lattey at work transforming a 5000 lb. block of stone into a beautiful piece of commissioned art.
How long do you look at a photo? In a digital world, we’ve become accustomed to skimming photos—because they are everywhere. A photo tells a story. I didn’t notice it at first, but there’s lot’s going on in this photo, more than the stone dust highlighted by the morning backlight (that’s part of what I was initially trying to show). For example look for contrasts in the image…
I said I’d stop by in a few weeks to see the finished piece. So stay tuned for the reveal.

Happy Easter everyone. So easy to enjoy Easter on the Island when the weather is unprecedented and the smiles are everywhere. I’m sure I talked to one hundred people today in Ganges, chatted with many students from yesteryear and made some new friends who have a similar photo affliction.
And was touched by so many people who came over to tell me how much they enjoyed the Murakami photos in AQUA and here on the web.

Best snippet of the day:
“Are you working?” I was asked. After a short pause, I had to reply, “I’m not sure.” :)
