Things are warm and moist and spring is nascent on Bowen even in late January. The robins and chickadees have changed their calls and the salmonberries are setting their buds.
Bowen Island is 20 square miles of rock lying two miles off the west coast of Canada. It is home to 3700 people, three mountains, two valleys, four lakes, about 15 beaches, two species of salmon, one village and me and my family.
"To chart this land hanging over ten thousand inlets and a distant mind as of many narrows, an impossible thing - no music sounds as many changes with such common theme."
