On Canada’s National Day of Mourning 🇨🇦 fifty fallen camellia petals to honor and remember the fifty health care heroes who have died from COVID-19 this past year one of whom was Diana Law, a wonderful caring and dedicated nurse from Peace Arch Hospital, a daughter, wife, mother and sister. She is the first nurse in British Columbia to die from COVID-19 and the second in Canada. Today’s post is dedicated to her memory and to the memory of all of the heroes whose families are mourning today, as we also take this opportunity to say thank you to all of our frontline heroes who continue to be there for us every single day.

when it’s raining outside
Collage on a rainy Saturday afternoon in the studio. You never know what a little tearing and recycling will result in. I think I’ll title it “When it’s raining outside.”
best moment of any day
The best moment of any day is when I am able to read to our beautiful grandchildren.
Happy World Book Day

Earth Day 2021
What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with these beautiful young ferns and lily of the valley leaves from the Pacific Spirit Park yesterday that remind us every day how precious and magnificent our world is.
Thank you also to all the children who honored the earth today with their beautiful painted rocks which we enjoyed on the Salish Trail in the Pacific Spirit Park this morning.
Thank you also to Greta Thunberg @gretathunberg who represented them and all of us speaking so eloquently and passionately to the US Congress today. And thank you to Amanda Gorman who has inspired us once again with her moving and beautiful poem Earthrise. The Earth could not have better champions who give us all such hope.
guilty, guilty, guilty
Going, going, gone.

Oh Canada
Oh Canada, they’re back; these beautiful young maple leaves illuminated by the morning sunshine in the Pacific Spirit Park yesterday. I hope they will lift your spirits as much as they did ours
world art day
On World Art Day, a little plein air drawing of our glorious camellias…
…inspired by “a bramble,” circa 1505, by Leonardo da Vinci whose birthday it is today.
“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
may they both rest in peace
It was a heartbreaking morning seeing the flag-draped casket of slain Capitol Police Office William Evans carried up the steps of the US Capitol watched by his mother, his wife and his two beautiful children, Logan and Abigail clutching their stuffed animals. The moving service that followed honored him as the true hero that he is; in the words of President Biden to the family,”Your son, your husband, your brother, your dad was a hero.”
May they both Rest In Peace.
