Blogger, Artist, Social Media, Web Designer, Photographer- I blog about nouns-people, places and things, even when it's negative I try to put a positive spin on it. @tinawinterlikfb https://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com
While drones may be getting a bad rap in some areas, to see something like this is fantastic. Makes me want one. Such beautiful places many people never get the opportunity too! They forget, forget what is at stake with pipelines, tankers, natural gas, mines and all the other things that could destroy this Super Natural BC.
Share this and let's stand united it to protect it!!!

So happy!!!! I just won this BEAUTIFUL painting by Jenn Ashton. We've never actually met but know each other pretty well from connecting on Fb, Twitter and stuff. :D ;) I just love her work and I have watched her over time create the most amazing paintings. Check them out and you will see what I mean. They are so fun and colour
Here are some other lovely images from her website
An accomplished writer from an early age,
North Vancouver native Jenn Ashton has written for magazines,
newspapers, scholarly journals, and has recently published two books for
children.
Although art has always been a part of Jenn's repertoire, be it music
or programming, she has only recently delved into the world of paint.
Jenn also runs Rave On Studio with her partner Chris and their good sized dog, Django.
"The Affair of the Diamond Necklace was an incident in the 1780s at the court of Louis XVI of France involving his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette.
The reputation of the Queen, which was already tarnished by gossip, was
ruined by the implication that she had participated in a crime to
defraud the crown jewellers of the cost of a very expensive diamond
necklace. The Affair was historically significant as one of the events
that led to the French populace's disillusionment with the monarchy, which, among other causes, eventually culminated in the French Revolution."
It is very interesting what can topple a monarchy or government. Watching the movie it was so strange to see them burning effigies of Marie Antoinette in the street. I know alot of people might like to do that for someome esle but ART is a GREAT outlet.
And happily we have an internet with SOCIAL MEDIA that we can share. Thing is we really have to protect all our priveleges and get back a bunch of our rights.
But as I said "Art " can help!
As I said, I didn't write it, but I did add this little piece.
We do not like you Steve the con We would really WISH that you would be GONE!!!!
Love this poem above and this is very appropriate too!!
"Through music, dance and gratitude for this life we can all ‘Rise Up’!”
‘Once A Day’ is about unexpected moments in life. Some days we have unexpectedly beautiful moments and others that are unexpectedly challenging. Last year I had a really challenging moment when my son was diagnosed with a kidney disease called FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis).
We thought it would break our family apart, but moving through the initial tears, made us realize life is precious and that we need to hug, kiss and be close to each other every day and through that we could ‘rise up’ and face his illness together.
I hope that Once A Day brings inspiration to anyone in this world who is going through challenging times. Through music, dance and gratitude for this life we can all ‘Rise Up’!” - Michael Franti AVAILABLE NOW on iTunes: http://apple.co/1MSst4I

To be honest, I had never heard of the festival and what a wonderful treat and surprize to attend such a well organized, peaceful, artistic and cultural experience. Check out the photos below, here's a little more info from the festival about page.
For 25 years, the Harmony Arts Festival, presented by Odlum Brown Limited,
has been one of the North Shore’s best-loved community events.
The
festival draws crowds from all over the Lower Mainland to celebrate a
harmonious balance of visual, culinary and performing arts on the
spectacular West Vancouver waterfront.
Whether it’s world-class musical
performances, inspiring visual art, mouth-watering gastronomic events or
simply the natural beauty of the setting that gets your heart beating a
little faster, there is something for everyone at the Harmony Arts
Festival.
Harmony Arts Festival
Events for all ages
Plenty of new programs and exhibits, in addition to festival favourties coming to West Vancouver, including:
visual art exhibits
Fresh St. Art Market (two weekends)
Pop-up Marina—come moor your boat and visit the festival!
outdoor concerts on two stages
two licensed beachside restaurant spaces in the heart of the action
Water- you have to respect it. So many people do not understand how fast situations change.
Sadly it's true, it is only when a friend or loved one loses their life do you realize how dangerous water can be. RESPECT IT!
Be informed and be aware, not just of Harrison but of all water, lakes, rivers and oceans. It is powerful, mix it with wind or cold and how it affects you is radical.
RIP Gary and Daniel and to all their family and friend I send my greatest condolences and I am sad you had to make this video but it is very good of you to warn and remind everyone to not take their safety or anyone elses for granted. Thank you for doing that so I can share it with my loved ones and hopefully protect them and their friends.

Gary Duong (25) and Daniel Reid (23) were both very strong swimmers. On
one of the hottest days in 2015, they died in the cold waters of
Harrison Lake, where they were swimming.
They were unaware of its
dangerously cold temperatures, strong currents, and the unpredictable
sudden winds which can turn a flat surface of water into a small craft
warning in a matter of seconds.
Visitors to this lake must become aware
of these risks. Gary and Daniel can't speak now so we are speaking for
them in hopes that future deaths will be prevented on this very
beautiful but deadly body of water.
