SONGS OF THE SEA 2016!
From loud crashing waves to gentlest evening waves, a repeated hush upon sandy shore. From peaceful murmurs, like miniature trumpets, of Barrow’s Goldeneye ducks, we love hanging out by the Pacific shores.
Bald eagles, our sentinels, high above Mr. Mallard’s trusting glance (no worries, it’s Vancouver, where urban eagles thrive); and husky diesels thrummings of Vancouver’s protective patrol ships. 
Songs of our sentinels by the sea
harbor patrol ships and high snowy peaks of the city
MARINE ART WORKSHOPS
At Vancouver Maritime Museum
Salt Mist Seasons: Marine Art of the BC
Why is marine art fun and endlessly engaging? Voyage aboard 1920s rum running vessel, MV Salt Mist (ex-Kagome) through images of her secret sea haunts 48*49’N.123*22’W-50°41’N.125°52’W. From a mariner-artist’s perspective, Rosemary explores ocean art themes from the SALT MIST exhibition, focusing on light and reflection, the essence of sea, ship, and shore!

On Remembrance Day we paid respects under the chilly blue.
