Brilliant Blue

It was a bright blue morning —some of us got out on the water to enjoy it… Here’s the 3 boys in boats.  Oskar in the old Livingston dinghy that his Dad used as a kid, only with a new electric motor, Nik in a kayak and their Dad in my new boat.(he would have been an awesome rower with his build and athletic abilities)   H and I in the Alden double. (Yes I messed with it a bit…)The rest of crew were too late as a big wind came up for them.    But still the sons took all the kids to Galiano for ice cream later and a trip to the bookstore. . (We’ll miss that when they go home and leave the kids next week).    

The extra is a composite of the 4 artworks from yesterday  -the assignment was to collect 10 things, at least 8 from nature in this Canadian country, and then to arrange them as a still life design on a piece of paper with or without a frame.   The little crab in the upper right one was only there for a moment.    We took photos and printed them out so this is a photo of the 4 printed pages which are in the process of being hand colored with colored  pencils…. another picture later……?

And for something amusing:  someone found a yellow and black container with a cartridge of Kodak Advantix Film. ASA 200, 25 exp.  On asking them what it was, Niklas (13) says its either a battery, or maybe toner for a printer,.  Tatum (12) says maybe thats it but at least something technological, Fiona (6)  says it holds medicine, and Oskar (11) says it goes in a camera.!!!

Film?? what’s that????  does this make us feel old????
