A month after I turned sixteen I started dating a Polish Canadian girl almost a year older than me. On one of our dates that summer we saw Under the Volcano at the Kingsway cinema. I read the Malcolm Lowry novel it was based on around the same time, and purchased several of his other books. The poem of his that I remember best is titled Kingfishers in British Columbia. I shot this video sometime in May of 2018 and composed and recorded the guitar track that goes with it later that month.
You might also be interested in listening to the song I wrote some twenty-five years later about that short-lived relationship in my seventeenth summer. I made a series of notes about what I could remember, which became the lyrics without any further changes, It is track two on my 2015 album, do that again, and is titled 'lockers in the hallway'.
Anyhow, here are the photos you were probably expecting from June16th, 2021. It was also a Wednesday.
And now some fauna to go with all that flora.
