I met Harold Joe, a #Cowichan based #Indigenous knowledge keeper/teacher, actor & film producer, in 2015. He had come to Victoria to audition for a lead role in the Telus Optik webseries that I worked on for a few years. We casted him.
He's now co-owner & producer at Orca Cove Media with my old film production executive producer, Leslie Bland.

There's two #IndigenousFilm screenings at #UVIC in March with 2 films from Ocra Cove.

A large, clear water droplet sits atop several leaves, reflecting the surrounding environment. Other smaller droplets cling to the leaves, adding a glistening effect. The background shows blurred greenery and dark soil, with other plants.Close-up view of a young bearded iris plant sprouting from a bulb in dark soil, with green and red-tinged leaves emerging, accompanied by moss and small stones.

Icy/frosty, sunny morning in on South #Wsanec territory. I'll have some crocus blooms & other photos to share, from #WellandCommunityOrchard later on. I'm working there from 10am-3pm today. I'll be checking up on our oyster mushrooms buckets & creating new media content for #LifecyclesProjectSociety.

I'm super happy that former #BCGreens MLA opted to go into helping #Indigenous #Wsanec peoples - instead of trying to beat dead set for fascism-neoliberal asses with #BCNDP corporate lobbyist loyal sellouts.
Especially with people in that party who have #racism & ableism issues.

FYI - I asked a public direct question about how much unmasked Greens are normalizing #ableism & Emily - their new BC Greens leader - never responded. She has an active account here too. Their federal leader, Elizabeth May - is #disabled & chose to stop masking a long time ago too.

No political party in BC or Canada really care about #PeopleWithDisabilities.

There's multiple entrances into #CuthbertHolmesPark - which is directly connected to Colquitz River Park. This is my fave entrance because it takes you straight into the forest 😊💚🌲 There's an unmarked entrance around the corner from here that also leads directly into forest & we exited from that trail.
These two nearby municipal parks are part of the Craigflower-Colquitz Watershed. There's estuary/bird & wildlife sanctuary areas in both parks. Lots of active rewilding projects happening year round in both parks too. Please keep your dogs on leash & out of nature restoration zones.

I found a couple of small, new colonies of Clavulina cristata - white coral fungi. It's #edible but bland.

These unidentified mushrooms were growing out of hardwood & leather on an old, decaying chair, in our backyard.
