May 10-09 I am not going another step
Our dog's walking buddy, Knuckles, became reluctant. No amount of coaxing from Bill would get him moving any way but back to the house.

Living and Working in Sointula
Though not strictly Sointula, the next four photos took place on our trip down to Victoria. For months I had been working on the video component of a performance of Ocean World, an environment choral performance presented by the Victoria Children's Choir and sponsored by the Raincoast Conservation Foundation. Living in Sointula had its special challenges as everyone else was in Victoria, some 483 Km (300 miles) away. Thanks to tremendous assistance from the producer and sponsors, the 21 videos were completed in time. I also have to thank the internet ftp service YouSendIt, email, our local post office and my husband for multiple ferry trips to Port McNeill. I lived to tell the tale...

May 9-09 Ocean World Choir Director and Sponsor
After a very successful performance and the jubilant choir members off to their homes, the Bengal Room at the Empress was the destination. More relaxed, the adult crew enjoyed celebratory concoctions. Mine was something with cranberry and egg white. Delish!

May 9-09 Victoria Children's Choir
A view of part of the choir a minute before Ocean World began. The children were focused and tense with excitement. The production was incredibly moving and powerful. If you have a chance to hear this choir perform invite some friends. You will not be disappointed.

Stage scene for the Giantess' hissy fit. The set is done and ready for action. One last run through tweaks the rumples for the numerous set changes needed during the play.

We have been tracking the movement and time of sunset by taking a photo from the same spot on the deck. We will probably put them together as a sequence at some point.
