merganser momma

there’s a new family
in the cove
this morning

they clamber onto the rock
dig for mussels
dashing
darting
swimming
diving for fish
riding on momma’s back
a brand new dozen
fluffing downy feathers
shaking off the rain
hiding under
umbrella momma

Between Forest and Sea: Memories of Belcarra





Belcarra lies between forest and sea on Indian Arm, a fjord near Vancouver. Like Raven, poking on the seashore, we sought to find and tell the stories about the area. More than a history book,
Between Forest and Sea tells of the people and changes in Belcarra from the early days of the Coast Salish, to Judge Bole, Baron von Alvensleben and Wigwam Inn, Harbour Navigation boat cruises to the Belcarra picnic grounds, summer cottages, and the emerging village community. Loaded with a wide collection of photographs and maps, the book brings the history of this community alive.
