Golden trees and cold, crisp air; doesn’t get much better than that.  A recent move out of the city to a smallish town just north of Vancouver has added fresh bear scat in the yard, snow covered peaks, and the smell of spawned salmon to this fall’s checklist.

There’s lots of music to make, too.  I’ll be revisiting my old haunts in Bellingham and making an inaugural run of shows over on Vancouver Island; you can check out the details on the Events page.

Of course, this is also the season to winterize the old horseless carriage and trim back the garden for frosts.  And, I’ve found a little something to help remember the heat of summer.  It was a great time up on Haida Gwaii for the Edge of the World Festival, and even if you weren’t there you can (re)live it through this video.
