marine mammal sightings

avocado egg rolls

A nice side to supplement our salad at Finney's Crafthouse. At the time I had never seen anything like it, but since then I've been noticing them here and there.

the lure of Lure

A memorable visit involving above-average crab cakes and key lime pie (in addition to the usual blackened salmon on caesar salad), an unusually long wait, and the surprising benefit of such a long wait.

the book of Jack Russell

This compact booklet on the same place that "Puffin Island" described (see my earlier blog) is a keeper, written by one of the tiny number of people who actually lived and worked on the island. The opening page is signed by the author and I think it's highly likely that my late aunt took the tour of the island.

The Book of Jack London

The Book of Jack London, volume II - the way it looked the day I finished the book. My intuitive decision to skip volume I and read volume II proved fruitful, as I found it entertaining and informative. I now have a pretty good handle on all things Jack London.

Bluey

I humorously thought that "Bluey" was a variety of apple. The actual variety here is "Ambrosia" - first cultivated in British Columbia in the 1990s.

morning beauty

Some mornings you wake up and, while you open the blinds, are struck by the beauty of plants and objects by the window. Then you photograph it.
