Peculiar, strange, surreal and darkly comedic. Proof of what an excellent script can do, and - while there were expenses for sure, it's not inconceivable that it could be shot on an extremely low budget. 5 Stars.

A 27 second meditation. The sound is very relaxing. Filmed the waves coming in over the rocks at Botanical Beach, north of Port Renfrew, remembered it from my childhood, then didn't remember it at all, but loved it nonetheless.

Spotted this around the corner from Oso Negro in Nelson - The Thingery. A lending library for things. I've thought of the same for Calgary, for any suburb where you have the endless repetition of leafblowers, snowblowers, rakes, shovels, commonly used garden tools - who's common usage might amount to 4 or 5 outings per year - makes more sense than everyone in the neighborhood filling up their garages with the same, mostly unused tools.
But in Nelson someone had the bright idea and it gets done.

Excuse the crummy photo, taken through a glass cabinet at the Salvation Army where they're currently up on silent auction.
Red wooden lacquered geisha shoes, with mother of pearl inlaid herons (look close where the soles of the feet go). And little bells that tell you when she's coming...charming!
