So exciting to see Whistler's own Jackson Goldstone win two weeks in a row on the World Cup MTB Tour!!! youtu.be/G814AD2QKmQ?...
I just got in there last week too for the first time! about 35 years I am guessing since Paul snapped that one!
We dropped into Wild Blue Restaurant for the first time and stoked to finally see in person one of @paulmorrisonphoto.bsky.social ‘s classics featuring me from the late 80’s. Honoured to be alongside an illustrious lineup of other long time Whistler icons.
Visited an old friend on a bike ride is Whistler. I owe the world to Murr. I actually got all choked up dropping by for the first time in 30 years. Sumo used to take us out in his convertible Cadillac with bullhorns to visit during summer camp. Two of my favourites on the “all dead ski team”
Mother's Day Fun at the Gardens at HPC! first time three and the Japanese gardens are amazing!
Thanks Andrew - keep up the good fight for us! I am also hoping you'll consider a mayoral run for 2027!!!
This is literally 1950's standards and the council should be ashamed of their inability to progress anything to create safe streets for all in a timely manner. @aaoakbay.bsky.social - please run for Mayor!!!
@districtofoakbay.bsky.social - another abject failure in civic duty of the leadership of Oak Bay to advance implementation for an approved cycling network infrastructure. Decades of delays due to reviews obstruction by Councillors Green, Braithwaite and Patterson & deciding vote of Mayor Kevin
45 years ago today. One of my all time favourite tracks was dropped. Also on of my best live concert moments mid 80’s at Vancouvers Commodore Ballroom The Cure - A Forest youtu.be/xik-y0xlpZ0?...
“Bought” - so just found out you can’t edit posts on @bsky.app
We wish we had you in our Oak Bay council!!!
June of 2020, Covid 19 gave us a chance to rethink our lives and we took a random trip to see if life on Vancouver island was a viable option. We literally both the first house we looked (top left of photo is our house). 5yrs now & we still feel like we won the lottery. Gonzales Bay by Doug Clement
Canada’s 60th anniversary of the maple leaf flag 🇨🇦 is February 15th. We loaded up a few dozen flags to help the Oak Bay Rotary club get them flying through town to celebrate! Feeling more Canadian than ever these days and I think we are all finally taking back our flag! O’Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
An amazing display of alpine scenery in mid winter perfection this weekend at Whistler. Our 14 1/2 year old Pica Dog was still charging on the dog loop at Whistler Olympic Park. And saw one serious ice bath too!!
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: CNN stated, "Oh, he's just teasing." Teasing about taking over other countries? There's no such thing as "teasing" when you're threatening the sovereignty of independent nations.
The Salish Sea put on a dramatic Christmas display with a the biggest So. Easter of the year blowing through. Only two brave souls ventured out on the lee side of Clover Point where it was lining up like a left hand point break. Merry Christmas to all swerving on dirt, snow and ocean!! 🎅🎅🎅
The Winter Solstice is:
A chance to clean house, both inner and outer.
A time for reflection, rest and renewal.
A time for feeding the spirit and nurturing the soul.
Stay in tune with nature and wellness,
This longest night can be a time of journeying deep into our inner dreamtime to bring forth a dream that can help us in the new year.
A new year with fresh possibilities reborn in us all….
Native plants bloom now so that their seeds will be formed and fall to the ground early enough in spring to take advantage of the rains.Plant a seed for a more intuitive, simpler and natural holiday season.If you want to change something in your life the winter solstice is a good time to work on it.
Spend more time listening, watching and honoring the slower, quieter rhythm of the season.
Darkness and night are times of rest, dreaming, healing and growth.
Seeds must be put into the dark earth in order to send out roots and push up new shoots….
The winter solstice can serve as a touchstone to help us cultivate an attitude of receptiveness and appreciation that will carry us through the holiday season. Reflect on the stillness of the day by cultivating stillness in yourself…
The winter solstice can be a beautiful reminder that our lives are part of a larger order that’s always changing and renewing.
A way to bring warmth, light and cheerfulness into the dark time of the year.
For many millenniums humans have marked this sacred time in the yearly cycle of life.
On this day the sun takes its lowest arc across the sky.
On this day the sun sets farthest south on the horizon.
Creating a meaningful winter solstice celebration can help us cultivate a deeper connection with nature, family, friends and community.
….
The winter solstice is on Saturday, December 21, 2024 at 1:20 am PST.
This begins the winter season.
It is a pivot point from which the light will grow stronger and brighter. The longest night and shortest day of the year are followed by a renewal of the sun as days get longer….more
Always in the window seat!!!!
Pau Hana! A great end to an epic North Shore day!
