I had no idea what this strange hairy looking growth was. There were a number of them growing on the wild roses in the lot next to our property. Turns out they are a type of pest called rose gall. There are wasp larvae inside. This one is very dried out... I cut it  in half to look inside. Very cool!   

Drawn on iPad.

Even though I am all grown up, I still love to sit and listen to my Mom read a story! Such an exciting weekend with the launch of her book MEDICAL MAN.  A packed house at the library on Saturday and a more intimate gathering with friends, food and wine on Sunday.  So proud of my Mom.  Read more about her book at helenwebster.ca.

Winter Sun...westcoast style.

The recent cold weather has resulted in a bird bath frozen solid. Today it warmed up in the sun for the frozen disk of ice to loosen up just enough to pry it out. Leaning up against the base of the birdbath, with the low winter sun shining through... hard to resist taking a photograph.

Medical Man by Helen Webster

11/12/2015

 
Picture
A recent  editing project of mine.  I also did the cover design. Going to press in  late 2015.   Available in bookstores and online early in 2016.

​A great read.  I highly recommend it.  

​When in 1919, Robert was called  out by a frightened country doctor in the dark night of a prairie winter  to assist with an emergency appendectomy he had none of the armoury of today's physicians and surgeons; it was  miles by sleigh to the nearest hospital, there was no communication, no antibiotics, no anesthetic.  There was only his experience and skill as a surgeon. He was ready to operate on a gaslit kitchen table in an isolated farmhouse but  was immediately caught up in a tragedy, an ethical dilemma where all of his life experiences, values and skills as a physician and surgeon were put to the test. Was he about to become an unwilling accomplice to medical manslaughter? What more could Robert have done to prevent the horror that ensued when another doctor’s incompetence was compounded with stubborn pride?

MEDICAL MAN is set in the wild west of frontier medicine in Alberta during the early years of the 20th century. The story begins in 1900 when T. Robert Ross leaves his position as a Hudson's Bay Company trader to marry "the prettiest schoolteacher he had ever seen" and to study medicine in Kingston Ontario. In 1909, he and his young family join the flood of immigrants traveling to the new western provinces where he builds a small hospital and begins to practise medicine in the isolated prairie town of Bow Island. This captivating tale follows Robert and his family to Lethbridge, Coleman, and finally Drumheller.

Robert's life and medical career span nearly a century of powerful events in Canadian and world history throughout the era often called the "golden age of medicine" for its remarkable discoveries and changes, including the introduction of what was then called state medicine.

Spent the past 3 days teaching my iPad for Artists workshop. Wow.. what a fun, creative, and fearless group of artists. It was a pleasure spending time with them. Looking forward to seeing them again when we do Level II !
