Little Blue Flowers

Don't know what they are but they surely mean spring is coming.

Sunday Signage > Slow Down

I was talking to some fellows who have lived on Gabriola for a long time and apparently, as recently as the 1970s, signs like this were totally unnecessary. Everybody used to drive like little old ladies but unfortunately, not anymore. Nowadays, people drive like maniacs, speeding everywhere and endangering their neighbours and wild and domestic animals in the process. Seems so out of place on this otherwise calm and peaceful little island. What's the hurry?

High Style

Say, isn't that a certain well-known photographer?

Fun Times at The Commons

ABC Wednesday > P is for Petroglyph

At the museum on South Rd and also found in the wild around the island.

ABC Wednesday

Painting The Pencil

The utility pole in front of the post office has been transformed into a beautiful bright yellow pencil thanks to a grant received by the Arts Council. The base is now notebook paper with a Welcome To Gabriola message. Local artists will be painting more poles very soon so stay tuned.

Hippie Day

Today was Hippie Day which kicked off the week-long Isle of the Arts Festival. It was, like, far out. There was drumming, dancing in the grass, and a potluck but oddly, no pungent aromas wafting through the air.

Library Mascot

I guess Tigger is watching over the transition at the library.

New Art at Mad Rona's

It's a piece called Celebrate Salmon by local artist Sylvie Milman

Bike Polo

It slid under most Gabriolan's radar but the island was host to a bike polo tournament last weekend. Riders came from Nanaimo, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle and Bellingham for three days of friendly but intense competition at Huxley Park.

Easter Egg Hunt

The Easter Bunny was one busy rabbit yesterday at The Commons.

Easter Bunnies On Wheels

I caught these folks right before they began a two-wheeled circumnavigation of the island, a healthy way to spend Easter Sunday.

Roger's Last Hurrah

Roger C has sold Raspberry's Jazz Cafe and he's throwing a farewell bash tomorrow from noon til 9pm with live music, burgers and beer all day long. Proceeds to benefit the Gabriola Commons.
