Every kind of work has its specific tools. For me, a good ballpoint pen, a journal, and my laptop computer are essential for writing. As I walked the grounds at the Whiteley Center during my recent writing residency, I discovered a few tools evidently used by marine scientists.
They remind me this is a working facility.
On one of those walks, I happened upon a sweet, small cove, laced with dried bull kelp and driftwood.
But wait, what’s that silvery white round item in the middle of the photo? I suspected it wasn’t a rock or some other marine specimen, so I scrambled down the rocks for a closer look and to snatch it from its pristine perch.

Thank you for this, Iris. I second your emotion!
BTW: I did try to post this on your blog site but was unsuccessful.
Also BTW: Steve called me last night, though I think he knew you’d contacted me. He wanted me to hear the news from him rather than through the grapevine, I think. SO sweet of him to think of me when he’s the one with the hard news. We had a good talk.
Love and blessings,
Lorna

Thanks for reading, Lorna.
Thanks, Lorna. Something has been happening with my comments on WordPress. I’m trying to correct it. Thanks for reading.
