Thistle Theatre - Dancing in Poppies
"Even when they're confronted by the daunting assignment of tackling a work of such depth - both in plot and characterization - the three member cast never wavers. Such poise and confidence are rare commodities even in professional circles, much less amateur ranks."
Based on the novella 1919: The Love Letters of George and Adelaide, Dancing in Poppies examines the physical, emotional and spiritual damage inflicted by war.

Saturday Photo Hunt - Hat
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1k_zNQFsuHptZ1Z6YHSmSoL05sJLXOogj3h1iZsqneAKTdDTCyeaYWgWzZjfvFZpN7HTTQTQHCwuuc6odhGp8yz4GLAsQIeYcYn-LYDcsyT_eje9idm94JpGGj5Jm0VIKy-4vxZdUh0ru/s400/Elaine+scans+Jan+2009+015b.jpg)
The white sculpture is the original plaster pattern used to cast the bronze sculpture at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. The prominent central figure wearing the big hat is a shaman, the Haida chief Kilstlaai. As a symbol of authority he holds a speaker's staff; on the top of the staff is Killer Whale.
The Spirit of Haida Gwaii features Raven and Eagle, the two principal Haida lineages that are coequal and represent two halves of a whole. The sculpture encompasses mythical creatures, animals, men and women, who together symbolize not just one culture but the entire family of living beings. The canoe is filled to overflowing with creatures who bite and claw one another as they doggedly paddle along.
The photo is a scan of a 35mm photo I took in 1999.

Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism
There's a man being towed around by two young girls in fancy dresses in this Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism Ad - many a moon ago I used to babysit him and his sister! How old does that make me?!
You can't possibly look at this video without realizing why I get so homesick sometimes.

Watery Wednesday
The first photo is quite simply a view from the shoreline through the water (Atlantic Ocean) to the rocks just below the surface.

Can you see the woman sitting on the bench? And yes, that's the Atlantic in the background.

My World Tuesday - you know you live in the country when....
Sunday, January 4, 2009
"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are extremely charming. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please visit these writers! If you would like, please pass this award to more bloggers who, in turn, might also choose to pass it on please include this text in the body of their award."
My choices for this award are:
because they help keep the cousins in touch
because Don's is in touch with his world/community even when he's away from it for awhile.
