Up on Haliburton Hill: Clafoutis
http://uponhaliburtonhill.blogspot.com/2015/07/clafoutis.html
Up on Haliburton Hill. Observances about nature and life from just outside Victoria BC . . . and from sundry other locations. Saturday, July 25, 2015. Maybe you’ve never heard of this classic French dessert, or maybe you think it’s complicated. It’s not. It’s basically fresh whole cherries baked in a simple custard and I made it this afternoon for a garden party. So I was happy to find one that won’t take up too much space. This is what it looks like. I did a little research online and found that. Here&#...

Up on Haliburton Hill. Observances about nature and life from just outside Victoria BC . . . and from sundry other locations. Monday, August 3, 2015. A Malcolm Island Wedding. We spent the long weekend attending a wedding on Malcolm Island, off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island. The community called Sointula. Our friend Paul lived there for years and his two sons were born on the island at a place called Mitchell Bay. And what a fabulous celebration it was! Here are our friends and parents of the g...

Up on Haliburton Hill. Observances about nature and life from just outside Victoria BC . . . and from sundry other locations. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Just around the corner from our street is the Tortilleria Zaragoza, a store that creates and sells corn tortillas. We know they're fresh because we can see them being made by the ancient machines just behind the counter. Having access to fresh tortillas within steps of your home is one of the benefits of living in the centro. Links to this post. It's no...

A week ago a friend and I visited our buddy Kath in Vancouver. These photos are of the cement silos down at Granville Island. Aren't they fun! It's been weeks and weeks since I posted here. Life has been busy but not that busy, but somehow I've got out of the habit of blogging. Links to this post. Occasional mu...

Up on Haliburton Hill. Observances about nature and life from just outside Victoria BC . . . and from sundry other locations. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. This is a sketchy photo of the painting taken with my cell phone- but you can get an idea of it. I guess the universe is confirming that I'm on a good path. I'll post photos of the building, 1580 Cook Street and the studio space soon. Links to this post. Friday, November 21, 2014. If you're interested, his name is Cameron Moffat. Links to this post.

Up on Haliburton Hill: Two days at the top of the world
http://uponhaliburtonhill.blogspot.com/2015/07/two-days-at-top-of-world.html
Up on Haliburton Hill. Observances about nature and life from just outside Victoria BC . . . and from sundry other locations. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Two days at the top of the world. Brown Ridge on Saturna Island isn't really the top of the world, but it sure feels like it when you're looking out over the gulf islands and the ocean far below. We are lucky enough to have access to a sweet little cabin right on the top of the ridge. One afternoon we drove down to Winter Cove and walked the trail to Boat ...

When we return to Victoria on Friday, I think the one thing I will really miss is the beach with the silky turquoise water. We have beaches at home of course but they're not like Mazatlan beaches. The water there is icy cold. Some people like to go out in a boat or fish or swim or read under a beach umbrella. Links to this post.

Up on Haliburton Hill. Observances about nature and life from just outside Victoria BC . . . and from sundry other locations. Friday, August 15, 2014. August in Victoria is a most beautiful month. The sun shines day after day and everyone is rushing around trying to pack as much summer as possible into the long days. We've been taking little trips around the area, visiting tourist attractions like Whippletree Junction south of Duncan. Eating al fresco and taking Geordie for swims in the lakes and rivers.
