This certainly ups the bar on what is possible for sandcastles, and all you hopefuls for the coming Sandfest may want to cruise in to this site to take a peek at what unbelievable structures are possible with the humble media of beach sand. Truly astounding. These photos are said to be from the SandMaster's competition at the Frazer Valley Harrison Hot Springs Resort.

For those of you who missed the show, and especially for those of you who didn't buy Polaroid in the 50's, IBM in the 60's or Eric Clapton in the 70's: A sneak peek at tomorrow's local Guitar Monsters in a fuzzy and loud bootleg tapped from their annual year-end lunchtime concert. The players are all students in May's guitar programme, and range in age from 7 to 14, showing off for their friends here in the lunchtime show:

Richard has a dream of recording 100 seed-and-run rebel stealth gardens overtaking derelict urban spaces by the end of the 2006 planting season. I wonder if the recent hit on the public school vegetable garden would count as a shameless act of senseless beautification ...

Founder Richard Reynolds has enlisted the help of people similarly dedicated to beautifying public space in UK urban areas, and the movement has inspired other groups ... Apparently, even the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are in on the act.

Richard's site is collecting up all the stories, press coverage and covert photo-shoots, and also includes many tips on late-night watering and building tactical seed-bombs.

Y'know, it's 9:45 on a Saturday night, and there's sweet strains of high-mountain bluegrass over at Two Chicks!

That's the thing about a beach with a sunset patio: you never know what's going to happen if you don't check it out :)

If you can't make it down for Pete and Edy, then maybe next week? That's when singer Russ Burns takes the patio stage under the stars ...

Itchin' for the beach? Still a tad chilly to be wading out in the water just yet, but here's a few more photos to get you in the mood, intrepid traveller jpfleurim's photo gallery on Webshots presents 33 pics of sand, sky and that fab inland ocean of Lake Huron at Webshots - Images of Ontario:Sauble Beach

And while we're on the topic of beachy keen things, is it because I'm way way out of the sports-fashion loop, or has anyone else heard of, seen or even worn Sauble Beach Boardshorts?

Our very own SBP photo-blog! Just in time for cottage-season, a place to upload all those vacation and wilderness living pics before posting about it all here on your SBP journal. From Vancouver's free photo album, introducing FlickR SBP ...

It's an amazing place, the SBP. Full of vistas, moments, scenes like you've never seen before. Cottage country, farm country, fishing, skiing, hunting, stargazing and don't forget the Beach!
Wiarton to Hepworth, Red Bay to Sauble Beach and all points in between -- our very own South Bruce Peninsula flicker photo travelogue. Enjoy!

Pics from your woodland walks, sunsets, flora and fauna, anything you like if it's SBP. The gallery is open to all to view and post, and all you need to play is a FlickR ID and some photos to post!

You might think that a sleepy peninsula in near-Northern Canada would be the last place for a wordsmith to ply their trade, but you couldn't be further from the truth -- SBP is brimming with authors, everything from histories to non-fiction field-guides, top technical trade manuals, award-winning children's stories and yes, even fiction.

Especially fiction.
