A heavily weathered and rusted vintage wood stove on a beach. It has shells on the top and there is foliage and little yellow flowers behind it. It is likely a model similar to those produced by Fisher Stoves in the past. Condition: The stove is severely oxidized with deep rust, indicating it has been exposed to the elements for a long period. Design: Features a basic box shape with a front-loading door, characteristic of older, non-EPA certified airtight designs. Potential Use: Given its condition, it is best suited for decorative garden art or repurposed as an outdoor fire pit. Thank you Google Lens!

I saw this on a beach, I think on #SaltSpringIsland #BC #Canada🇨🇦
Didn't REALLY know what its purpose was/is until now (searched Google Lens) It looks like some kind of stove or heater... but is/was probably used as a beach fire pit.

#Kaput but functional still?

A mossy trail on the edge of an island is framed by a twisted Madrona tree and firs. Another island can be seen in the distance.

The weather here has been frightful for days - wind like a freight train and rain. So here is an image from 10 years ago at #RuckleProvincialPark on #SaltSpringIsland in #BeautifulBC. Work travel FTW.

An end-of-day wine tasting in February led to an equal parts educational/festive many months on Salt Spring Island, which ended yesterday. A hands-on experience = a deeper appreciation for the modern (sometimes mad!) scientists in the cellar and our WC environment.

A combination of photographs & handwritten text on a grey background. Photos are all of red & yellow Nomad bees, text describes my observations & gives basic info on this type of bee.

We did a residency on Saltspring in June. There was a big area full of Andrena nests, & tons of Nomada.

I compiled my observations into these info sheets to share with the residency.
