Through Lens and Brush - Artist Reception

Well after a busy few months and 2 years of preparation, it's up.  Mom and I are showing in our fourth joint show at Goward House.

The reception was held Nov 9 from 1-3 and many friends came by to have a look, have a nibble and visit.  I hope you are able to drop by at some point in November to see the work - mom's impressions of Scotland are especially strong.

The world could only make one heart as perfect as yours. #ValentineFromSpace twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield/…

Reasons

Kenzie and I wandered Cadboro Bay and surrounds yesterday discovering new paths and beaches....  the sun shone.  He played happily in the sand for over an hour and we saw no one.  No one other than the geese, ducks and family of otters playing in the water while songbirds and gentle waves filled the air with an symphony of gentle spring song....

Need a reason to vote?  No - I know I am blessed to live in a country for which citizens can vote privately.   I have friends who immigrated from places where they don't have that right - either to vote or to vote because they are a woman or to vote secretly.

We live in a place where each person has a say if they take that say.  It's not just a right.  It's a privilege and more importantly it's a responsibility. 

It's not just living by the ocean that makes me realize how lucky I am.  I vote for two reasons....  and I need no other....
