A quick walk up to the bookstore had an intellectual rabbit hole, which I have not indulged: a protest in front of the #CVRD building in downtown #DuncanBC.
Does anyone on #VancouverIsland have an idea what is being protested? a number of signs about government over-reach, and 'vote no!'
It's that time of year when the official #flower of #britishcolumbia (which is actually a tree) puts on a show. This particular tree that sits beside the #Chemainus baseball athletic park is one of the nicest ones I know of in the #CowichanValley so I also make a point of visiting it each spring.
Figured I should add our retail store here in #Chemainus to my profile which I just did. Here is our about page for the shop that along with my wife we have operated here in #CowichanValley for the last 11 years. We work hard to give the residents a local option for clothing and footwear without having to leave town or head to one of the big faceless online corporate outlets.
A #throwbackthursday to this wonderful hike on Maple Mountain in the #cowichanValley almost 10 years ago with friends. It was a perfect spring day and the vibrancy of the green moss on the coastal slopes of the mountain was magical.
