Nesting

nests at the beaty biodiversity museum at ubc. also love the way people store the abandoned nests they find. I may have a nest or two myself, stashed in an old cracker box or similar.

gijs frieling

when i buy my farm i will hire gijs fireling to come and paint all the outbuildings for me.

(and he can collaborate with dries van noten on some work clothes for feeding chickens, mucking out barns etc etc.)

 

princess rupert et al.

apologies for our absence -

we completely indulged ourselves over spring break, including a wander through stanley park and past the old polar bear caves (straight out of logan's run). (i'm surprised they were even still standing...)
