Glorious morning views at Neck Point a few days ago. Making up for a very soggy day.

My favourite view in all of Nanaimo. The point at Sunset Beach. I have admired this view for 35 years, watched the trees grow, had picnics on the rocks beneath the tree branches. We watched eagles and sea lions and the ocean roll in and out every day we spent there.

Sunrise 🌅 over the water. The light highlights Pipers Lagoon and drifts across the bay to the beach. An old pier, rotting back to the earth, points to the sun.

Many community and campus radio stations are having their Fall Fundraisers. I encourage you to donate, if you are able. When I first started going on the road, I realized how important their support is, especially for artists in roots genres. Thank you for your attention to this matter!😉
