Michael's father on "Warming Earth"

Rowland (Dr Rowland C Marshall), Michael's father lives out along the Eastern Shore in Seaforth - 3/4 way down the 207 Highway.

He has a real art studio - a really old building that was once part of the community's first church - at least 150 years old.

He also has a virtual art studio -"Rowland's Seaforth Art Studio" on Google Sites.

He has posted on it the entire contents of his latest artistbook,

Warming Earth" .

Beautiful paintings, prints and poems expressing his worries about the fate of this old Earth if the mass of fresh water locked up in the ice of the Arctic is suddenly dumped into the ocean's delicate heat transferring system.

Well worth a look....

Google Sites and Google Blogger - free and easy

Michael Marshall turned me onto the advantages of having a blog and a website via the people at Google.

I saw how much work it took Michael to make even a simple but reliable website by hand - back in the early days of the Greens in Nova Scotia.

I don't do much on my blog - just type a bit and post, but Michael really goes to town on his.

He spills out his failings for all to see - like his goof this week regarding his belief that there were no photos of The Black Stork doctor, Harry Haiselden.

Oopppps !!!!

When Michael discovered his error, he apologized to all - on his blog....
