This and that

Through community a garden connection I recently had an opportunity to tour the physics lab and the University Of Victoria.  I met a couple who work in the lab recently at a pot luck event at a new community garden in Victoria where they are gardeners.  She is one of two people who are trained to operate what is the worlds most powerful electron microscope.  Originally from Colombia, Christina operates the scope and her husband interprets the data.

A visit and lunch at Symphony Vineyards with my friend Kathryn

Lucien finally received his Canadian citizenship documents after a year and a half wait so we had a little party in honour of the occasion at Kathry’s house

  1. That’s quite the super electron microscope ! Does it make people and brew cappuccino too ?
    Really like your photo of the grapes and the tree reflection at the bottom.
