The Nation That Trump Could Never Break Canada didn’t just resist, they reminded the rest of us how to endure

Message from Ukraine:
Thank you, Canada.
For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse.
You reminded us that we are not alone.
Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world.
And more like something worth staying alive for.

The overlooked masterpiece full of coded messages about World War One Esoteric and pioneering, the paintings of a lesser-known Pre-Raphaelite, Evelyn De Morgan, explored the trauma and meaning of war – and prefigured current fantasy art.

Not a word of a lie: I have been given the task of hunting down the remains of a sea monster. I think I’m in the right career.

You know how to party!

Congratulations!!!

Preparing for markets next weekend… Let market season begin!

A soft springtime illustration set in a sunny glade, a group of young bunny girls in frilly white dresses and flower crowns prancing around a tall wooden maypole carved in the shape of a rabbit. Each girl holds a ribbon and reaches for the paw of the next girl as they dance, braiding the ribbons around the neck of the maypole. Colorful flags are strung from the top of the pole and flowering trees, bushes and grass decorate the background.

Welcome Spring 🌼🐰🌼 #art #illustration #bunnies #spring

Here's my video on Day 1 of the federal election campaign, looking at B.C.'s electoral map.

Featuring charts! References to small towns! The implicit understanding that nothing on this earth is forever and society is inherently tenuous!

Kelpie

Last week, I read a book which was, beyond doubt, the worst novel I’ve ever read. This week, I’m reading a novel that has, in its beauty, inspired me to new heights.

That’s what I love about reading: you learn something from every book you open — even the really, really terrible ones.

Beautiful cover!

A green horse diving through murky water, its tail and mane mixed with reeds carried by a trail of bubbles. Surrounding the horse is a mixture of aquatic plants flowing in the same direction.

Market time is just around the corner…. It’s been a tough week, but I’m looking forward to summer markets and talking about books, up and down Vancouver Island!
