Cottage

Salt Spring Cottage
It’s been some time since I posted a ‘Saturday home’ photo. This cottage conforms to the 602.77 square feet restriction. Somehow it feels much larger.

I call this architectural trickery, spacious minimalism.

Really, how much more do you need?

Groundwork

Groundwork
I spotted this art piece while waiting for my Salt Spring Salads*.

We’re looking down at Diana Lynn Thompson’s Groundwork, part of her LANDART collection on display outside Mahon Hall.

If your computing device allows you to zoom in a bit you’ll find lots of man-made items ‘hidden’ in the various areas of the piece.

*Operated by the GISS culinary/cafeteria program, this food truck (between Mahon Hall and the School Board Office) is home to the best super fresh, meal size ($9) salads on Salt Spring! Open from 11:30 to 3:45. The proceeds provide jobs for cafeteria students working at the food truck during the summer—and anything left over goes back into the program to help make it even better!

A little time changes everything. One day riding on top of someone’s shoulders in the Saturday Market. Then what seems a short time later, performing solo on stage at ArtSpring Theatre.

This image goes back some years. We’re revisiting it on Salt Spring Photos because the photo graces the cover of John Grain’s new book Mod’n Lavender: Salt Spring Island in the ’60s. John hopes to do a Salt Spring Island launch of the book some time in September. Look for a Gulf Islands Driftwood article and possibly a session at the Salt Spring Library.

Can’t wait? I found a link to electronic and print copies here.

Author John Grain revisits teenage life on Salt Spring Island during the 1960s. “Salt Spring Island was the hub, the focal point of the counterculture in Canada and I had missed it,” says Grain.
