Fun little evening ride with Cassia! https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2FmkSBDmK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Twenty-three brave souls did a cold immersion this morning (ocean at 10 C, or 50 F), including Cassia. Her and I stayed in for 17 minutes! (Swipe for 3-panel group photo) (at Willows Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPwj_HzBr6n/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cassia and I built this on Mayne Island Sunday, at low tide. When the tide came in, it appeared to float in the ocean by itself. (at Mayne Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPlGLtyhWv9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Shhhhhh... Can you hear it? Neither can I. :) . . #peaceandquiet https://www.instagram.com/p/CPcZqjvJe6I/?utm_medium=tumblr

Quick trip to Mill Bay this evening with a pitstop at the top of the Malahat. This photo doesn’t make it justice #grateful #islandlife (at Malahat Lookout) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPXXUgxhImO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another important milestone in Cassia’s career: medical school, DONE. Dr. Tremblay will soon move to the Nelson region and start her family medicine residency. Bravo Cassia! https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMem6hJ4bt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Camas Lilies. Not just another pretty bloom, the camas holds a place of special significance to the Coast Salish peoples. The plant’s edible bulbs were a starchy staple of the local First Nations diet up until the early 1900s. Coast Salish peoples have harvested the onion-like bulbs and steamed them in pits. When the bulbs cook, they develop a healthy sugar called “inulin.” Cooked camas bulbs are said to taste a bit like baked pears and can be eaten whole or dried and pounded into a flour. In pre-colonial times, Indigenous peoples not only harvested camas lily plants, they carefully cultivated them in family plots using traditional techniques to promote bigger bulbs and larger crop yields.
