This little guy was nose in a book and oblivious to the controlled chaos around him.
Salt Spring Renewable Energy Conference
The Salt Spring and Gulf Islands Renewable Energy Conference Issues and Solutions yesterday at the Gulf Islands Secondary Multipurpose Room. That’s Rob Abbott delivering the keynote.
In related news…a community funded project will see the installation of a 20 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system on the roof of the high school gym. The power will be sold to BC Hydro and the money realized will go to a GISS Solar Scholarship (for GISS students who demonstrate achievement and interest in renewable energy and climate action).
And, the south facing campus also had, I believe, the first geothermal heating system on the Island. The system runs under the lower soccer field.
Salt Spring Fruitsicle
Handmade on the island with quality natural ingredients. And so yummy. A special treat at Salt Spring’s Saturday Market. The market opens today and runs through October.

At first there was one. Actually working on her MacBook. Then another came along.
Depending what you are viewing this on, you might see a bee—above the bag/clothes/book and level with the girl’s shoulder. Perfect.

Candied Salmon
10 am in the studio
Today’s photo of the day is coming to you from the studio space where I spent my day yesterday. I thought you might find this first image interesting.
We were shooting images for a new line of packaging for SeaChange Seafoods, a long time Salt Spring company. Sean Carter of Carter Hales Design Lab flew in from Vancouver (with Salt Spring Air) to direct the shoot. Joining us for food preparation and styling was Korena Vine of Korena in the Kitchen. Korena grew up on Salt Spring and ferried over from Vancouver island for the day.
The components show the candied salmon in the foreground with the main ingredients softly behind: the raw sugar pile, the sea salt in an authentic Northwest Coast Native spoon, and an authentic Native woven bowl (native artifacts courtesy Pegasus Gallery).
The surface is a rustic antique table top from a Saskatchewan farm. The background is 1×6 rough cedar fence boards from Slegg Lumber treated with Lifetime Wood Treatment of New Denver.
This image will be used (with a ‘belly band’ partly over the bowl and sugar) as the front of the Candied Salmon package.
Ingredients:
British Columbia wild pink salmon, sugar, sea salt, soy sauce, spices, natural hardwood smoke
p.s.
Yesterday’s April 1st post, the house in Coal Harbour, is actually an art piece made mostly of aluminum by Liz Magor. It’s called Light Shed.
