Alpha Ya Ya Diallo was wonderful warm uplifting music from start to finish. There was dancing! Along with the African musicians and dancer there was our own Jesse Zubot (electric violin). Totally great stuff. We said goodbye to Ginna, the Women's Centre coordinator. A lovely bright young woman who had us almost organized. Sigh!

Today's Saturday picture. A grey mild day. I walked around Buttertubs taking many shots of the bullrushes - but none made the cut. The marsh sometimes has this amazing peuter grey smooth shininess to it and did today. Lovely place. Today's Saturday Picture is a rhodo on my deck though. Also quite lovely..... I love Saturday, especially one off like today. Bought gumboots to keep my feet dry when watering the plants at Buckerfield's Garden Centre. Now I'm cooking eggplant red pepper lasagna and then going to hear Alpha Ya Ya Diallo at the Port Theatre. Better get the lead out!

Saturday Morning Pictures. I have a picture from every Saturday Morning since September 30, 2006.

The picture above is the very first one that I chose. It's at Buttertubs Marsh in Nanaimo. It's called September 30, 2006 and is still a favourite. Actually it was published in a local magazine.

The one below is from yesterday. It is of the Buckerfield's Garden Centre where I am working. It's called March 20, 2010. A lovely bunch of shrubs and fruit trees on the first day of Spring!

A simple concept. Take several pictures wherever I am on Saturday (before noon!) and choose the one that is the best or the one that represents the uniqueness of that particular Saturday. A good example of that is last Saturday's picture of two guys in the orchestra of the Live at the Met showing of Carmen. That's unlikely to happen again soon!

I'll keep you posted on this project/journal/art thing. Enjoy.
