From Duncan to south of Nanaimo.
The Glenora Farm Weavery. Many looms.
South West of Duncan BC at the corners of Glenora Road, Indian Road and Marshall Road is a weavery full of looms that are used by Glenora Farm
Glenora Farm
“Glenora Farm is a place where care givers and people with developmental disabilities live, learn and work together, sharing in a culturally rich and productive environment.
We are working out of the impulses that stand behind the Camphill Movement, a worldwide organization of schools, training colleges and adult villages. This way of working is based on the ideas developed by Rudolf Steiner in his lectures and writings on Anthroposophy, with the assumption that every individual, regardless of ability, is an independent spiritual being. Developmental disabilities are treated, not as illnesses, but as a part of the fabric of human experience, and are cared for in the context of a healthy home and community life.”

Victor Vesely, of the tea farm
An actual tea plant growing in Canada. Victor says this and the many many more tea plants that he is growing on a southern slope in North Cowichan might be the first bunch of tea grown in Canada. They will be mature and ready to harvest in a few more seasons. (2014)

Mountainaire Campround near Nanaimo. This place was great!
Kindling and some more firestarting paper. Or is that the summer reading library?

Maple leaves against the sky
Giant Forest Mushroom growing on a log. Looks like a melted butterscotch sundae.
Heather says the water is not too cold
The underwater camera works!
The swimming hole on the Nanaimo River by the Mountainaire Campground
British Columbia tree covered with lumps of moss
Why not not litter?
A little bit east of the Mountainaire Swimming hole is this Swimming place where the Nanaimo locals hang out
Unfortunately the kids litter a bit
The local Nanaimo kids have a hang out down the Nanaimo river road. Just across the river from the Mountainaire Campground
I guess this used to be an old bridge or a dam? Looks dangerous…
Summer time at the swimming hole on the Nanaimo River
When the water was higher the small rocks would tumble around and carve out smooth organic shapes in the bedrock
Amazing naturally carved river stone in the Nanaimo River. It has been a bit hot lately this summer in BC, so the water level is a bit low. Does that make sense?
You have to pass this sign to get to the Swimming Hole
How do u get here I’ve been asking and asking
Where to exactly? Glenora Farm?
